The University of Port Harcourt, in partnership with Nestlé Foods Nigeria and the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), recently launched a career development training on Resume Writing and Interviewing Skills for students.
Declaring the programme open at the Ebitimi Banigo Auditorium, University Park, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Owunari Abraham Georgewill, urged participants to seize the opportunity as a platform to build essential employability skills. He emphasised the importance of well-structured resumes and confident interview techniques as essential tools for success in today’s highly competitive job market.
The training, organised by the Counselling Intervention Centre of the university, was facilitated by its Director, Professor Ijeoma Ernest Ehibudu.
