The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has organised a two-day job and career fair which will end on Friday, September 10.

On day one of the job fair, many young men and women searching for jobs massed up at the AICC and were seen with brown envelopes containing their CVs hoping to secure jobs from some companies that had mounted stands at the venue.

According to YEA, the main purpose of the job and career fair is to provide opportunities for job seekers to go through interview sessions to get employed by the participating companies at the fair.
