Aspire 2023: A Virtual Career Fair for Freshers and Young Professionals
Finding a job can be a daunting task, especially for freshers and young professionals with 0-2 years of experience. With the ever-changing landscape of the job market, it can be difficult to know where to start your search or what skills are in demand.
To help ease the burden of job hunting, foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), a leading talent platform offering comprehensive employment solutions, has teamed up with Microsoft to bring back the second edition of Aspire. Aspire is a virtual career fair that will take place from May 31st to June 2nd, 2023, and will feature over 30 hiring organizations.
With over 70 million candidate profiles available, this exclusive event gives recruiters from several industries access to a sizable talent pool while offering job seekers the opportunity to interact with industry experts and connect with potential employers.
Why This Is Important
The Indian job market is expanding rapidly, with a projected need for 100 million new jobs by 2025, as per industry reports. However, the limited supply of skilled talent has led to a demand-supply mismatch, posing a significant challenge for the industry.
Our joint endeavour with Microsoft is designed to help address this talent gap by creating a pool of Microsoft Cloud-skilled and certified professionals and bridging the recruiter-employer connection. Our dynamic platform, Aspire, is an ideal conduit for meaningful interactions between job seekers and recruiters. It keeps job seekers updated on the latest job openings and skill requirements and facilitates valuable connections with potential employers across industries.
How Aspire 2023 Can Help
The second edition of Aspire will cater to recruiters who want to hire freshers and young professionals at the initial stage of their careers, offering them access to potential tech and non-tech candidates. They can quickly identify and select Microsoft-certified candidates through quick screening and shortlisting criteria. The fair also provides significant opportunities for job seekers.
In addition, we have also collaborated with Microsoft for the Future Ready Talent (FRT) program. FRT is a virtual internship program where college students across diverse backgrounds can upskill themselves on Microsoft Cloud, create projects, and get them validated. This program is also affiliated with organizations such as All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), FutureSkills Prime-a NASSCOM and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) digital skilling initiative, Ernst & Young (EY), and GitHub.
Through Future Ready Talent, recruiters can access rich information about each candidate, such as Project details, Project links, demos, GitHub profiles, LinkedIn profiles, and much more, making for a seamless recruitment process. Recruiters at Aspire 2023 would be exposed to the candidate pool of Future Ready Talent interns and Microsoft-certified learners for Azure, Microsoft Dynamics, and Power platform job openings.
