I was contacted by Under the Same Sun's representative, and they enquired about internships. I gave them my contact details during the preparation for the Career Fair, and they called asking if I could help find internships or jobs for the recent graduates. I was unable to find an jobs or internships for the graduates, which led me onto think that while we did advocate for untraditional careers, we never really presented an opportunity or structure to support the students in reaching their full potential. An improvement of add-on for next year would be to hold a job fair as well, so that we are also able to directly influence change rather than stop at advocating. The logistics for this would be much harder to figure out, because it requires a lot more commitment from the professionals that will be attending the career fair.
