The seventh annual Career Fair will provide a unique opportunity for alumni and students graduating from AUIS and other universities in the region to engage with top employers. This year we have over two dozen exhibitors, from both the private and public sectors, as well as the humanitarian community.

In the past, AUIS held the largest career fair in the region, the Sulaimani Job Fair 2015, in collaboration with Foras/USAID. The two-day event attracted some 47 employers and 1,400 job seekers. The next year’s job fair was held exclusively for AUIS students and graduates and despite the ongoing financial crisis, 36 companies from the private and public sectors registered for the event, as well as a number of NGOs and international development organizations. In 2017, AUIS continued hosting this unique platform for both employers and job seekers as an arena to meet and discuss employment opportunities, and for employers to network and promote their brands.

The 2018 Career Fair is open to both AUIS students and alumni as well as upper-level students from top universities in Kurdistan. Exhibitors present at this year’s event will have access to the most competitive pool of job seekers in Kurdistan. We thank you for choosing to be part of the 2018 Career Fair and wish all participants a productive and successful day!
