Career and Self Development

Expo 2008

(C-DEX 2008)

Theme:

Empower, Endeavour, Excel

Date:

24^th February 2008 (C-DEX RUN)

1^st March 2008 – 3^th March 2008 (Career Fair and Workshop)

Venue: Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia

The first ever career and self development expo 2008 (C-DEX 2008) with the theme Endeavour, Empower, Excel, is the biggest engineering student activity in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) organized by the Engineering Students’ Society (PEMAJU).

This expo is divided into 2 parts:

a)                  Career expo

b)                  Career Workshop

This expo is organized by PEMAJU to provide UPM students with proper future career exposure to various companies and corporations. This will thus enhance their chances of obtaining a career or internship of their choice without having to go far, and also realizing the potential of our students to prospective employers. Engineering students will be our priority but students from other courses and universities would also be invited to the expo.

The workshop would be targeted mainly for engineering students to have themselves equipped with a lot of vital knowledge for their future undertakings. It will focus on the soft skills of undergraduates before and after they obtain a job.

To promote this event, we will be organizing a run entitled C-DEX Run which will be held earlier before C-DEX, and we will be targeting students from UPM and other also other universities for this event.

Our Objectives:

1.      To enhance co-operation, networking and good relationship between the industry, academic and governmental organization in developing world class graduates.

2.      To draw interest and concern of the undergraduates over the importance of engineers as potential driving force to the country’s development.

3.      To create a platform for young people to practice leadership, improve soft skills, and to develop their network.

Our Programme:

C-DEX 2008 includes a Run for publicity purposes and Career Fair which will run in parallel with a Self- Development Workshop.

        i.            C-DEX Run (24^TH February 2008)

The focus of this run will be to promote C-DEX, by exposing runners to the objective of the Expo and the benefits they would acquire now and also in the future. Therefore we will be inviting students from UPM and also other universities to participate in this event. We are targeting 300 male and 300 female runners to participate in the run. Each of these runners will be entitled to a goodie bag and t-shirt, and will be entertained by a small carnival held during that day too, which will include lucky draws and performances. We will of course set a C-DEX booth up too during that day for publicity purposes.

      ii.            C-DEX Career Fair (1^st March 2008 – 3^th March 2008)

We are inviting multinational corporations such as Shell, Motorola, Bayer, YTL and many more to provide interview sessions for graduates and also interns. Companies could also offer applications for scholarships or funds for deserving students, if applicable. Apart from that we will also invite them to promote their companies to students and will give participating engineering students an insight on the working culture of each respective participating company.

    iii.            C-DEX Self Development Workshop (1^st March 2008)

The workshop will focus on effective self development of a student or graduate, and will chance to improve student’s perception towards the job sector. The objective of this workshop is to help improve overall marketability of students, by recommending things they are supposed to experience while still in university and also when applying for a job. We would also be stressing on important issues upon entering the working world, and how to face them effectively. There will be various talks and a forum involved for the purposes mentioned above.
