SIM Career and Internship Fair 2022

The employability of SIM graduates is a priority for SIM. That was the message clearly brought across to students during the SIM GE Career and Internship Fair 2022.

Look out for our annual Career Fairs in February and October!

With Covid-19 measures relaxing in 2022, SIM was finally able to host the first physical Career Fair – IGNITE on 14 October 2022 –after three years! Prior to this physical fair, DREAMS, which took place virtually in February 2022, also saw a huge turnout of over 1,300 participants.

IGNITE Career and Internship Fair saw over 30 participating companies from different industries, such as Ernst & Young, NinjaVan Singapore, DBS Bank, ShopBack Singapore, Changi Airport Group, and more!

Participants had the opportunity to hear first-hand from the representatives of each companies, and network with them through the interactive booth, as well as apply for internships and jobs on the spot.

IGNITE 2022 was also the first time that SIM explored a hybrid format, where participants had the opportunity to continue applying for opportunities participating employers offered, which lasted up to one month after the physical event. This new format proved to be a big hit amongst SIM students, with over 1,000 students participating.

Overall, career fairs serve as an eye-opening platform for students to network with their potential employers, and to forge professional connections even before stepping into the working world. IGNITE your Career DREAMS by joining the SIM Career Fairs!

My colleagues and I at Guidepoint Singapore really enjoyed meeting with SIM students at the career fair! We met with a lot of students, and it was also a good opportunity to discuss career paths and interests with them, as well as to increase awareness of expert networks, which is a niche industry.

NCS is glad to be one of the participating companies at the first physical career event organised by SIM after two years. We enjoyed meeting with the students looking out for IT opportunities, hearing about their career interests and seeking advice from us on potential career pathways. We hope that the students found out more about NCS at this career fair, and we look forward to attending more events to meet students and share about our graduate opportunities.
