Students of senior secondary schools across Guyana, all post-secondary institutions, professionals from both the public and private sectors, and members of the public are invited to participate in this year’s Open Day and Job Fair. The event opens from 10 am to 4 pm daily and is open to the public. Admission is free.

All interested persons, especially those seeking to enter the job market, are encouraged to attend and engage with the experts.
On April 28, at the Tain Campus, academic departments of the UGBC will host information sessions for potential students, and companies will be conducting interviews for jobs and training opportunities.
