Student Career Support Program is a program planned to be held throughout the year to provide an opportunity to engage both current students and alumni together.
The program is designed to provide particularly final year students with the opportunity to improve their career related skills such as job seeking techniques, CV /cover letter writing, mock interviews etc. The mock interview session will give students the opportunity to be interviewed by winning GIK alumni and be given productive face to face feedback and advices.
Alumni are vital to the success of the program as they are supposed to perform as interviewers.
