Greetings and thank you for joining the Curtin Malaysia Careers Fair. We are thrilled to have you be a part of this prestigious event that connects talented individuals with exciting career opportunities.

The Careers Fair encompasses a wide array of industries, bringing together top employers, professionals, and students from diverse backgrounds. It serves as an invaluable platform for networking, job hunting, and professional development. Whether you are a student seeking internships, a fresh graduate looking to jumpstart your career, or an experienced professional considering new opportunities, this fair has something for everyone.

I thank our Career & Alumni Services team for the fantastic work they have done to organise this Careers Fair, maintaining a longstanding tradition dating back more than a decade, and ensuring that Curtin Malaysia continues to build its footprint in the job market as we mark our 25th anniversary in the coming year. A significant milestone in this goal was achieved very recently when Curtin Malaysia was recognised an Employers’ Preferred University in Malaysia by Talentbank National Graduate Employability Index (GE Index), recognising our graduates as being among the most sought-after by the nation’s leading brands.

I would also like to express my gratitude to our esteemed partners, sponsors, and others who have contributed to making this event possible. It is most encouraging to see so many employers eager to engage with potential hires and offering so many job openings and internship opportunities at this Careers Fair. Your continuous support towards our mission of nurturing talent and creating meaningful career opportunities is invaluable. Furthermore, the outlook for the job market and continued success of companies looks very bright indeed.

For job-seekers, you will have the chance to engage with industry experts, gain insights into various career paths, and learn about the skills and qualities in demand in today’s job market throughout the event. Our participating companies are eagerly seeking talented individuals like you, offering internships, graduate programs, and full-time positions across a range of fields. Make the most of this opportunity to build connections, showcase your strengths, and gain a competitive edge.

In addition to the numerous company booths, we have also arranged workshops, panel discussions, and information sessions to further enhance your understanding of different industries and boost your employability skills. These sessions will provide valuable advice on resume building, interview techniques, and career advancement strategies. Take advantage of the resources available and leave no stone unturned in your pursuit of success.

Lastly, I encourage each and every one of you to embrace this occasion with enthusiasm, an open mind, and a proactive approach. Be curious, ask questions, and seek guidance. Remember that the Careers Fair is not just an event but an opportunity to embark on a journey towards a fulfilling professional future.

Once again, welcome to the Curtin Malaysia Careers Fair. I hope everyone, employers and job-seekers alike, will have a productive and enriching experience.
