During the course of the Summit, you will join an elite group of 1,000 African graduates and professionals, carefully selected from a pool of more than 10,000 applicants, to interview with over 25 top employers for a variety of positions in their operations across Africa. As well as “Pre-Scheduled” Interviews, all of which have been organised prior to the event through a comprehensive matching process, you will have the opportunity to meet with over 100 company delegates. Networking opportunities exist at the opening cocktail reception on Friday evening, through company presentations taking place over Saturday and at the various company exhibition stands and hospitality rooms over the course of the event, giving you a chance to learn more about the participating companies and secure additional “On-the-Spot” Interviews. Companies may schedule these “On-the-Spot” Interviews with you directly or alternatively, they may ask you to leave your CV with a member of the Global Career Company team at our Hospitality Desk in the Exhibition Area. A list of the successful candidates that individual companies wish to interview will then be displayed on the plasma screens in the exhibition area and will be updated regularly throughout the event. This Summit is kindly sponsored by Standard Bank, Barclays, Zain, Chevron, Tigo, Vodafone, MTN and Guateng Shared Service Centre and we would like to thank them all for their support of this Careers in Africa initiative. In addition to our sponsors, I would also like to thank the Universities, Business Schools, African Clubs and Societies, Embassies, High Commissions and Ambassadors across Europe that continue to promote the Careers in Africa brand. We are extremely grateful to them all for their contribution to its growing success. This Programme will provide you with all the information you need to gain the most from the Summit. Please read each section carefully and direct any questions to the Global Career Company team, who will be on site to assist you. On behalf of the team at Global Career Company, I wish you all every success with your interviews and look forward to hearing about some exciting new career moves as a result of this Summit. I wish you all a very successful event.
