YEREVAN, May 16. /ARKA/. The second IT career opened today in Yerevan
as part of the USAID/CAPS (United States Agency of International
Development/ Competitive Private Sector) Program in Armenia.
The aim of the event is to arrange a meeting between employers and
job seekers, said Hayley Alexander, USAID/CAPS Program executive.
On the one hand, the fair opens up good career prospects for young
IT specialists and on the other hand, it allows IT companies to fill
up staff vacancies.
About 30 local IT organizations, leading Armenian universities and
the Union of IT Enterprises (UITE) participate in the career fair.
Synopsys-Armenia, Virage Logic, National Instruments and EPG
Technologies, Synergy, Boomerang Software, as well as ArmenTel and
K-Telekom (under the VivaCell brand) offer vacancies.
Having visited the career fair, RA deputy Minister of Labor Artem
Asatryan stressed the importance of establishing contacts between
employers and job seekers. "The companies can get acquainted with
the background and skills of prospective employees, while job seekers
can get information they need," he said.
After the first IT job fair in Armenia that took place on June 22,
2007, about 20 students and graduates found a job.
Career fairs are expected to be held in Armenia's regions, particularly
in Kotayk, Syunik and Gegharkunik.
