Undertaking for the training and integration of young people

8th edition of the Student Career Forum I Troubiran Campus

Education and companies:
Initiated by the University of Guyana and GBH to bring the world of work and universities together to help young people find employment 

The 8th edition of the Student Career Forum, initiated by the University of Guyana and GBH, was held on Thursday 15 November 2018 on the Troubiran Campus. The University of Guyana and GBH have increased their efforts in helping young people find work by signing a partnership agreement last year, whose ambition is to bring the world of business closer to those of schools and universities. 

A partnership to improve the professional integration of young Guianese people. The aim of this partnership agreement between the University of Guyana and GBH is two-fold: to pool both partners’ skills and resources and to facilitate the exchange of experience and skills between company executives and students.

Actions carried out by the University of Guyana and GBH:

Raise awareness among young people about higher education and the business world

• Develop close and supportive relationships with students

Reward excellence with personalised professional mentoring

Besides offering internships in some of the Group’s businesses, company visits, assistance for students in their job search, the Career Forum is one of the partnerships’ flagship actions.
