A University of Lagos student weighing an internship against another term of training can bring that question to a free seminar on 10 December. The university announced the event on 4 November. UNILAG Consult Ltd, Hommaston Consulting and the UNILAG Student Union are organising it for students of the university.
The programme is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday, 10 December. The announcement gives a date and time but leaves the venue to a later communication. Students planning a journey should check for that detail before deciding where to go. The university notice contains a link to the organisers’ registration form.
One part of the programme concerns choosing a direction. The organisers list both discovering a career path and assessing whether a job suits a person. Those are different questions. A student might know which industry interests them and still want to compare the work involved in two roles within it.
Another part concerns getting ready for work. The topics include internship opportunities, skills that employers look for, certifications relevant to a particular industry and planning personal development. The notice describes subjects for discussion. It gives no list of vacancies, employers recruiting at the seminar or qualifications that participants will receive.
Registration order matters for two extras. The organisers say the first ten registrants will receive a free career and job-finding guide. They also offer a one-to-one session to the first fifty. The notice does not say that attendance at the seminar itself is limited to fifty, and it lists no closing date.
What it means for you. Register through the link in the university announcement if the programme suits your plans. Bring a concrete question, such as which skill to develop before applying for a particular internship. If the individual session matters to you, confirm your registration position with the organisers before relying on it.
