“In addition to the insightful presentations, AMANO also organized an “on-the-spot” interview session aimed at providing immediate employment opportunities for some of the cadets. A CV clinic was held to better equip them with the skills needed to navigate the job market successfully and prepare for the next chapter in their careers,” Ailemen said in a statement.
He said the event also saw the active participation of members from the Akwa Ibom Chapter of AMANO, further enriching the gathering with their invaluable contributions.
