Job Fair is a fair or exhibition for employers, recruiters, and schools to meet prospective job seekers. This exchange is usually attended by companies or organizations that provide a table to collect resumes or booths for exchanging business cards. In tertiary institutions, the job market is generally used to recruit new graduates.
The job market gives new graduates the opportunity to conduct their first job interview. Companies that take part in the job market generally also open vacancies online. The job market is the right place for recruiters and job seekers to meet in person in a short time.
In his remarks the UMA Rector said "As a tertiary institution, UMA has an obligation to channel its graduates to work. We don't want any UMA graduates who are unemployed. For this reason, UMA provides the skills and knowledge so that graduates are ready to use in the world of work".
The 2019 Job Fair was concluded with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between UMA and the North Sumatra National Employers Network, as well as two private companies.

He also hopes that both the companies and participants will achieve their targets. "Through this Job Fair, we hope that companies can recruit candidates according to the required standards," he said.
