Career Center of Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus) successfully held a job fair event. It was attended by dozens of big companies across Indonesia. The 26th job fair served as a bridge between 3.490 jobseekers consisting of Udinus’ alumni and the general public who are seeking job opportunities for free.

The fair took place in the Hall of the E Building from December 2nd to 3rd, 2023. For the first time after the Pandemic, the Udinus Job Fair returned and conducted offline again. This event offered opportunities for job seekers and companies to directly interact with each other through booth facilities that are provided.

Furthermore, there are different types of companies that are available to be registered by job seekers, including those in banking, software development, garment, and laboratory fields.

“It is reported that there were 2225 jobseekers of Udinus alumni and 1265 from the public. Our goal is to be an excellent bridge for those who are looking for jobs. This job fair is also part of Udinus’ effort in deducting the rate of unemployment in Indonesia, particularly in Semarang City, Indonesia” said Dr. Sendi.

“On this ocassion, we are implementing a paperless system so that jobseekers no longer have to bring any files physically because their CV has been uploaded on Udinus’ career center system. Moreover, attendants only need to scan the provided barcode on each of the companies’ booths,” He added.
