Babcock University, Ogun State, has advised students to explore other learning avenues and not limit themselves only to their course of study.
Speaking at the Babcock 2023 Career Fair, Vice-Chancellor, Prof Ademola Tayo, said it was organised to bring lots of employers of labour, and industries to interface with the graduating students.
“My advice is that while you are in school, add value to yourself. Don’t limit yourself to your course of study; diversify. There are online courses on Coursera. Go online; learn new skills. Develop soft skills; ability to intermingle with people of cultures and races. Learn many languages. Put your hand in so many things.
“We believe that the final year students are in a transitional stage from school to the job market. So the essence of organising this on a yearly basis is to bring lots of employers of labour, companies, to Babcock University so that they will interface with our graduating students.”
He added that some universities from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and others had always been resent, however, this year, companies like KPMG, Deloitte, Wema Bank, and Nestle Nigeria PLC, were also in attendance.
