The annual Career Fair provides valuable opportunity for hardworking students who have intent to achieve goals, to meet relevant companies in their fields of study.

It allows our students the opportunity to explore the industry and engage with representatives of various exhibiting companies.” said Ms Maritha Bosch, Careers Officer at CUT.  “We find as many potential employers, and give them the opportunity to market their companies and recruit potential candidates from CUT.  These one-on-one engagements are unique experience for the students to showcases what CUT has to offer to business and industry” said she.
