Iqra University organised a job fair called, Career Gear 2015 at its Gulshan Campus, on November 12, 2015.

The job fair's objective was to connect hundreds of candidates with employers to experience the perfect job interview. Employers and organisations offering full-time and internship opportunities joined IU to discuss career options within their firms.

Job applicants will participated in face to face interviews which were conducted throughout the day with local and national recruiters. For job seekers, a visit to the fair was a huge investment in their job search process and career development.

Iqra University had planned to provide holistic, inclusive and high quality employment opportunities for their students and also to further nurture meaningful learning experiences for the students.

Over 200 students of Iqra University's Gulshan Campus participated in Career Gear 2015 organised by the Corporate Liason Unit.
