Southeast University Job Fair 2026 concludes with grandeur

The two-day “Southeast University Job Fair 2026” concluded on May 7 with a vibrant closing ceremony held at the university premises. Addressing the event as the chief guest, State Minister for Planning Zonayed Abdur Rahim Saki, emphasised the crucial role of universities in safeguarding national independence and sovereignty. He stated that universities serve as vital platforms for knowledge dissemination, fostering unity among citizens, and contributing significantly to nation-building.

Highlighting economic challenges, he referred to alleged large-scale financial irregularities in the previous government, noting that such issues have adversely affected investment, employment, and GDP growth. He stressed that national development is not the sole responsibility of the government. Rather, it requires collective efforts from all sectors of society to achieve meaningful progress. He also paid tribute to the “July Warriors”, particularly four individuals from Southeast University, exressing optimism that collaborative efforts would drive the country forward.

The closing session began with welcome remarks by the Pro Vice-Chancellor of Southeast University, Prof. Dr M Mofazzal Hossain. Prof. Dr Mohammad Anwar Hossen, Member of UGC, attended the event as the guest of honour. T M Asaduzzaman, a senior education specialist at the World Bank, was present as the special guest. The event was presided over by the Southeast University Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Dr Yusuf Mahbubul Islam.

Among others present at the event were the Registrar Maj Gen Anwarul Islam (Retd.), deans of various schools, department heads, administrative officials, faculty members, alumni, and students. A total of 55 multinational and leading national organisations from diverse sectors participated in the fair. The organisations collected CVs, conducted on-site interviews, and offered employment opportunities to qualified graduates of Southeast University. In addition to recruitment activities, the two-day event featured seminars and specialised sessions designed to enhance employability skills.
