In response to the evolving job market, Academic City University has reiterated its commitment to preparing students for the future by organizing its annual Career Fair. The event brought together over 60 top companies, providing a platform for students to engage with industry leaders to explore career opportunities.
As industries rapidly evolve, it has become important for tertiary institutions to build and maintain strong industry connections to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to stay relevant in the job market. The ACity Career Fair offers students a unique opportunity to network with employers, understand emerging industry trends, and secure potential internships and job placements. Through panel discussions, mentorship sessions, and one-on-one interactions, students gained first-hand exposure to real-world career expectations.
Some of the participating companies for this year’s event included Caveman Watches, Telecel Ghana, Nestle Ghana, Tullow Ltd, Turntabl, Voltic Ghana, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Royal Crown Packaging and Accra Brewery Ltd.
Speaking at the event, Emmanuel Woyome, Career Services Manager, Academic City, remarked, “As the job market continues to evolve, it is critical that students stay informed about industry trends and employer expectations. By bringing together top employers and industry leaders, we are not only exposing our students to real-world opportunities but also helping them build essential skills, confidence, and networks that will shape their professional journeys.”
Academic City is still committed to bridging the gap between education and industry by developing platforms that improve students’ professional preparedness. By maintaining these ties, the institution continues to help students transfer smoothly from academia to effective professional employment.
