On Saturday, May 13, 2023, stakeholders will gather at the Landmark Event Centre, Lagos, for the 2023 second edition of the Interswitch Career Fair.
The theme of the programme is The Future of Work and will afford participants the opportunity to explore trends in today’s workplace, as well as insights into the future of work.
It will also present opportunities for forward-thinking professionals, enabling them to connect, network and explore new career opportunities.
With the rise in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics, the workplace is at the threshold of a new frontier.
In light of these developments, the Interswitch Career Fair 2.0 has been organized to equip attendees with the tools and skills to pre-empt and navigate the new, emerging world of work.
Attendees can also anticipate insightful panel discussions, networking opportunities with industry leaders, and opportunities to upskill.
They will also have the opportunity to discuss their career prospects during the job fair session and meet experts from various fields, including finance, technology, marketing, and human resources, among others, who will share insights and provide guidance on how to build successful careers.
This year’s edition of the Interswitch Career Fair also features added highlights, owing to the partnership between Interswitch and industry giants like Google, Udemy and Linkedin, whose experts will be available to dispense insightful career development advice and upskilling opportunities to attendees.
In addition, interested attendees will be given an opportunity to join the Interswitch talent community, a growing talent pool of individuals who can potentially fill the current or future hiring needs of the tech company.

“The Career Fair initiative was birthed out of the need to provide a platform for industry stakeholders, including experienced and entry-level professionals, to converge and explore relevant themes pertaining to the workplace.
“It also serves to unlock the tremendous potential that exists among Nigerian talent and draw fresh minds into the tech ecosystem,” the Chief Human Resource Officer at Interswitch Nigeria, Franklin Ali, said.
