FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bringing together young professionals
of African backgrounds with leading African companies,
CareerNation’s second Recruiting Expo is coming to
New York City’s Metropolitan Pavilion April 20-21,
2007. Prominent African businessmen, academics, and policy
advisors will participate in panel discussions and events.
Following up on the success of its
first recruiting event, CareerNation.com - the human
resources center dedicated to connecting its more than
20,000 candidates to registered employers - is launching the
first of several job expositions throughout the
United States this year. Its goal is to help
strengthen business culture in Africa, and, by doing so, to
bolster African economies.
The CareerNation Expo targets
candidates of African descent for U.S. and African-based
companies seeking qualified candidates for careers in the
U.S. and throughout the African continent,” says Victor
Madubuko, founder and CEO of CareerNation.com.
In 2005, CareerNation’s first
exposition introduced 1,000 pre-screened candidates to fifty
representatives of hiring companies. The candidates also
participated in the “African Brain Gain Conference,” in
which more than twenty speakers - such as African policy
advisors, UN representatives, and corporate executives -
discussed solutions for the reinvigorating of African
economies.
This year’s expositions will go beyond
by expanding the reach to other major metropolitan markets,
including
Atlanta, Houston,
Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and
Boston.
Hailed as “the number-one job site for
job searching in the African market,” by Steven Hayes,
president of the Corporate Council on Africa,
CareerNation.com was founded in 2003 by Madubuko. With
offices in both
New York and
Abuja, Nigeria, CareerNation keeps extending its goal
to open up African companies to international recruitment.
The website features a job board, a resume database, and
professional human resources services.
