BRAC Institute of Languages (BIL) arranged a ‘Career Council Seminar’ for the Pre-University students of Summer’16 on June 30, 2016, in the BRAC University Auditorium. The event was facilitated by Ms Samiha Nusrat and Ms Anika Tasnim, who are serving in the Office of the Career Services and Alumni Relations (OCSAR). All the Pre-University students and teachers attended the seminar.
The program began with a brief discussion by the OCSAR officials regarding the services provided by OCSAR to the students as well as the activities of different clubs at BRACU and how the students can be benefitted from club involvement. The speakers further discussed current trends and subject-specific opportunities in the job market after graduation, how to find ways to develop necessary soft skills to meet job-market requirements, and also made the students aware of the changing career trends.
An interactive question-answer session took place at the end of the discussion. Students asked various questions regarding their subject of study and its scope in the existing job market, the part-time job opportunities at BRAC University, employability of BRACU graduates in comparison with other university graduates and what is considered to be a competitive CGPA as well as how to achieve that at BRAC University. The seminar ended with a warm vote of thanks by the OCSAR officials who encouraged the students to visit OCSAR office for any help they might need during their journey as BRACU students.
