SEA AS A CAREER 6-8 DEC, ROTARY SADAN
_______________________________________________________
FROM RC BEHALA
Sub : Career Fair on " Sea As A Career " organised in association
with The Association of Master Mariners, Calcutta at Rotary Sadan,
Kolkata on 6th to 8th December, 2007.
In this era of unemployment, one of the important duties of a
Rotary Club would be to throw light on job opportunity for the
youth in unconventional avenues. Thus our RI District 3290 is
associating itself with The Association of Master Mariners,
Calcutta to showcase a Career fair on "Sea As A Career" at
Rotary Sadan, Kolkata on 6th to 8th December, 2007. This Fair
will be represented by many national and international shipping
companies, and the people will get to know the career
opportunities in different fields of the trade.
Rotary Club of Behala individually organised a smaller version of
the same Fair last year (and some youth with proper CV got
selected at the Fair itself), and has been given the opportunity
to be the Lead Host Club this year. The total cost of the project
is estimated to be more than Rs 3 lakhs.
