Don Bosco Job Placement Network, Kolkata, hosted its first Job Fair here at Nitika Don Bosco, Tangra. More than 160 youth registered for the event. Seven companies, namely Quess Corp, Samuel Fitze Company Pvt. Ltd, NIIT- ICICI Bank, Lifestyle International Pvt., Okay Call Centre, Teamlease and Employment Provider, recruited youth.
“I am coming from Dankhuni because I am in desperate need of a job,” said a youth who had recently finished his Civil Engineering technician course.
“The Job Fair such as this provides an opportunity for us to be part of employing young people and happy to be part of Don Bosco,” said one of the Human Resource Managers.
Father Sunil Kerketta, the Vice-Provincial of Kolkata Province, welcomed the participants and the organisers and spoke about Don Bosco. Father Gabriel, the National Coordinator of Don Bosco Job Placement Network, in his address, encouraged the youth to make the best use of the opportunity provided to them.
Ronald Das, the Regional Coordinator for Kolkata, said, “we are happy that so many turned up for this event. Events such as these take away the inhibitions and fear most youths have while going for an interview.”
Don Bosco Job Placement Network, India, is one of the National Commissions of Don Bosco South Asia started four years ago to help young people to get jobs from all walks of life. It is a forum to connect employers with young job seekers.
