The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) organised a one day Job Fair for the unemployed engineers of Pakistan on Saturday at Expo Centre Karachi. PEC Chairman Engr Syed Abdul Qadir Shah inaugurated the Job Fair in the presence of eminent engineers and representatives of international organisations.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Engr Syed Abdul Qadir Shah said it was expected that the Job fair would facilitate a large number of engineers in getting employment letters. He shared that the CEO club, a consortium of top 100 companies of UAE, had also participated in the event as a potential employer. The CEO club’s network is determined to provide opportunities to the young engineers of Pakistan and it has also offered cooperation to develop the skills of Pakistani engineers enabling them to compete and succeed globally, he added.
Employers from Pakistan and abroad especially the United Arab Emirates (UAE) participated in this mega event and conducted walk-in-interviews and written tests of engineers to give them employment. The event also included a science fair where students of engineering universities displayed their projects. Seminars were also arranged for professional grooming of the engineers to exploit the internationally available earning opportunities.
Realising the employment issues of engineers, Abdul Qadir Shah has given special direction to Engr Mukhtar Ali Sheikh, Convener Public Relation Committee of PEC, to take adequate measures to facilitate the engineers and asked them to hold similar events in other cities as well.
