Lord Buddha Education Foundation (LBEF) organized a first of its kind event, Placement Day 2013, at its college premises in Maitidevi on Friday. The college turned into a employers-meet-potential-employees venue, during the one day event.

A total of 30 companies based in Nepal, from different fields such as IT, banking and trading sectors had their stalls under the LBEF roof where both graduate as well as currently enrolled students participated in the event.

“In our country, we see that the industries aren’t getting the skilled manpower that they require and that the skilled manpower available is also not getting the industries that they are looking for. Hence, we have organized this event to bridge that gap,” said Pankaj Jalan, Executive Director of LBEF.

“Our students, during their course of study, are also taught about personality development. We guide them in career issues and make sure that we give the job market ready-to-use manpower,” says Jalan. This Placement Day is another step in giving employment access to students.

“This is a good opportunity for us; we don’t have to search here and there for jobs. Now, we can just attend this event and find jobs,” said Jyoti Gupta, a BBA graduate from LBEF.
