Cork Institute of Technology's Annual Careers Fair takes place this Tuesday, October 7, in the Institute's Nexus Centre where a number of major national and international companies will be searching for suitable graduates.

Speaking at the Launch of Careers Fair '08, Dan Collins, Head of Careers and Counselling Service at CIT said, "Companies are anxious to employ first rate graduates who have shown proficiency in their chosen field of study".

While acknowledging the current economic situation, Mr Collins added, "There is a keen interest in CIT Graduates from companies across a broad spectrum of business, science, engineering and computing".

A new addition to this year's Fair is the presence of a number of Voluntary Organisations, such as Habitat for Humanity, Barretstown, Special Olympics Ireland and RehabCare. "This is to encourage our students to get involved in voluntary activities while still in college and in the future," said Mr Collins. "It is also a response to the call by the Taskforce on Active Citizenship which was established to advise the Government on the steps that can be taken to ensure that the wealth of civic spirit and active participation already present in Ireland continues to grow and develop."
