Students laud Global Interns on Career Connect series

Students from various senior secondary schools and tertiary institutions have commended Global Interns for broadening their horizon on career planning and internship opportunities at the Career Connect Series held in Lagos on Tuesday.
The workshop, which took place at The Incubator in Victoria Island, had in attendance seasoned facilitators including Greg Malize, Founder and Executive Director of ImpactGen; Oluwaseyi Adeoye, Chief Executive Officer of Pierrine Consulting; Caesar Keluro, Principal Partner of Ideasvibe Media; and Olufunmilayo Modupe, Principal Adviser of Global Interns Company who provided educative career planning tips on various topics that enriched the students’ knowledge in career decisions.
Roberts Ayanfe, a final year student of English Language at the University of Lagos, revealed that The Career Connect Series has broadened his horizon as it will help him to think for himself and engage in new challenges. “Before now I used to depend on my parents for assistance, but the Career Connect Series has sharpened my perception towards self-sufficiency,” he said.
He expressed optimism and enthusiasm triggered by the career workshop to embark on new ventures. “What I have realised from this workshop is that at this point in my life as a final year student, if I do not start doing certain things on my own and making logical decisions, it would affect my career choices and ultimately life’s goals,” he said.
Sifon Ediomo-Abasi, a fashion designer and Fine Art student of Yaba College of Technology, expressed excitement and commended the organisers of The Career Connect Series saying that the workshop has given her new orientation on how she could use technology to hype her career interest.
