From 2025, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) undergraduates will get career support from the university for a full year after graduation.

They can book appointments with career coaches and industry relations consultants, access NTU's career portal and intranet, and receive weekly job alerts as part of this support. They will also be invited to curated workshops and events.

From August, all NTU undergraduates also have to attend mandatory resume critique and mock interview clinics, where they refine their draft resumes, prepare elevator pitches—quick ways to make a positive first impression—and learn interview skills.

These initiatives are part of the university's efforts to boost career support for its students, which also include large-scale networking opportunities, such as its annual career fairs.

At the Job-In Fair on Sept 2 and 4, organised by NTU's Career and Attachment Office, more than 5,000 full-time positions are on offer for the students.

More than 200 employers are represented at the annual recruitment fair, the university's second-largest recruitment fair of the year, which also offers close to 4,300 internships and scholarships.

This is a show of the strong labour market to reassure students that there are jobs out there amid uncertainties, said Minister of State for Education Jasmin Lau, who attended the fair on Sept 2.

More than 8,000 students are expected to attend over the two days.
