Career Dialog at ITB

Local job seekers are encouraged to visit the Career Dialogue Exhibition, organised by Institute Technology Brunei (ITB), to be held on January 22 from 8.30am to 4pm.

Dyg Hjh Sariani, Student Welfare Officer of ITB, said the event is a yearly programme of ITB.

It has received encouraging response from ITB graduates as well as job seekers and graduates from foreign countries.

The exhibition has attracted eight government agencies and 30 private establishments including multinational companies. This will be the biggest career exhibition ever organised by the campus.

"It even surpasses the number of participating agencies last year. It could have been more if we had enough logistics, manpower and suitable exhibition areas.

"The response is far better than last year probably because ITB has been upgraded to university status which was announced by His Majesty a few months ago," she said.

She said the event is meant to promote the 38 participating agencies and to attract graduates as well as to identify prospective and quality human resources that could benefit their establishments.

The one-day exhibition will act as a platform for ITB graduates and local job seekers to find jobs that are suitable for their qualifications.

Apart from that the dialogue will also act as a link between the participating organisations and members of the public and job seekers. It will be an opportunity for them to have informal and open interaction and dialogue with the employers.

The Welfare Officer has welcomed graduates, job seekers and members of public to attend the event which will be participated by government agencies such as Royal Brunei Armed Forces, Royal Brunei Police Force, Fire and Rescue Department, Anti-Corruption Bureau, Prisons Department, Scholarship Section, Ministry of Education, Labour Department and Workers Provident Fund or TAP.

The graduates and job seekers could also scrutinise career opportunities available in multinational and private companies including BSP, BLNG, Brunei Gas Carriers Sdn Bhd, BSM, BAG Networks Sdn Bhd, Royal Brunei Technical Services, Schlumberger WTA (M) Sdn Bhd, Baiduri Bank, HRD Services, TELBRU, British Council, The Empire Hotel and Country Club, Standard Chartered Bank, SKSWoods, Jobs R Us, DST, BIBD, HAHD Engineering & Associates, MASHHOR Group of Companies, AIA, Baker Hughes (M) Sdn Bhd, KCA DEUTAG Drilling Company, Smith Bits Services, Joffren Omar Co Sdn Bhd, Geoservices South East Asia, Weatherford Brunei Sdn Bhd, PY Oiltools Sdn Bhd, PTAS-ITS Sdn Bhd, Riyan Cameron (B) Sdn Bhd and Amrtur Corp Sdn Bhd.

Graduates and job seekers are advised to bring along all relevant documents, passport size photo, CV, and photocopy of their identity cards as there will be walk-in interviews organised by the participating agencies during the exhibition.

The exhibition is open to the public including local job seekers and school students who wish to further their studies at ITB or foreign universities.
