2,000 job vacancies on offer at IFT job fair

The Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT) launched its “Career Day 2015” on Friday. Twenty companies participated in the event, which featured 2,000 job offers in the hospitality industry.
According to a statement, IFT said that companies from the tourism and services industry were the main participants, namely several casino resorts, as well as international brands such as Louis Vuitton. The job fair addressed about 400 students who will graduate in the current school year.
IFT’s employment rate is high, having attracted nearly 88 percent of last year’s graduates. A student completing her degree in Event Management told Radio Macau that she believes that “it is not difficult to find a job that we like.” IFT president Fanny Vong advised students to choose companies with an international profile: “Macau is rather small for our students, and many local students have not had the opportunity to work abroad.”
According to a survey, 76.2 percent of IFT-employed graduates worked in the tourism and hospitality sectors with a median salary of MOP13,900. IFT’s career day aims to offer a platform for students to have a glimpse into Macau’s job market, and to increase their opportunities for landing a position.
