Carnegie Mellon University Qatar hosts tech-focused career fair, gathering 25 employers for the event

Carnegie Mellon University Qatar recently hosted its first technology-focused career fair, which included participation from 25 employers in the region.
 
The event, entitled “Careers Platform: The Technology Edition,” provided a venue for potential employers and students in computer science and information systems to meet and network.

The employers involved included large corporations and smaller startups. Students took the opportunity to learn about possible jobs and internships and listened to professional expertise given by representatives from the employers.
 
“Hiring for jobs and internships in the high tech sector is a little different, and we wanted employers to have a chance to focus on our students with expertise in computer science and information systems,” Selma Mansar, associate dean for education, said.
