The Annual Internship Fair was held online this year to provide Ayb School students and graduates with a possibility to gain and exchange experience.
“This initiative is an important component for career orientation and provides a possibility to turn theory into substance. I am happy to see the challenging academic year end with such an important event. Basing on our values, we continue working and becoming stronger,” Ayb School principal Aram Pachkhanian said.
Leading Armenian companies presented their activities with the help of short-term courses and seminars that were accompanied with thematic discussions focusing, for most part, on the skills essential for a successful entry to the job market.
Presenting internship opportunities in Ameriabank, the bank representative, Ofelia Kamaryan, said, “Basing the five years of cooperation with Ayb School, we are happy to have an educational institution whose graduates promise to become a skilled workforce. One of the best employees at our quality
