Graduate Connect 2021 and Virtual Career Fair (GEMS) As you reach your final lap towards graduation as seniors, juggling between Capstone projects and academic studies would have likely taken up most of your time. Planning ahead is key, and if you are still keeping your options open before graduation, Graduate Connect and Virtual Career Fair events are catered just for you! In 2021, both events were successfully held virtually on the GEMS platform. Graduate Connect is a targeted recruitment event held annually in May, with its aim to showcase graduating students to employers keen to hire fresh graduates. With over 50 choice employers who participated in the online recruitment in 2021, our students received more than 200 exciting job opportunities and offers. As such, we strongly encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for Graduate Connect 2022! As a booster, in 2021, we also launched a Virtual Career Fair in October, held on GEMS.

Career and Internship Fair
As one of the best ways to learn more about a company’s culture and what it takes to excel in their job roles, do not let this opportunity pass you by. Contact CDC to arrange for a mock interview so that you will be especially prepared for the event itself.
The signature career event of the year, SUTD Career and Internship Fair (CIF) attracts on average over 100 employers across diverse sectors. In 2021, CIF was conducted on a virtual platform, providing a conducive environment for both employers and students to network. Regardless of whether the event is conducted physically or via a virtual platform, preparation is key prior to attending it. Your checklist includes: • Research on the specific roles and focus on your unique skillsets that make you the perfect fit. • Update your resume and put on your professional front to chat with the employers you have mapped out to meet. • Be focused and engage actively in conversation. • On a virtual platform, choose a quiet environment with sufficient lighting. Check and ensure your audio and video gadgets are in working condition. Be sure to maintain a good distance of three feet between the back of your head and the wall which should be a solid colour background.
