The Kannur Corporation is set to organize Global Job Fair on January 11 and 12, 2025, at the Mundayad Indoor Stadium. The event aims to provide over 1,000 job opportunities across various sectors, attracting both freshers and experienced professionals from across Kerala.
Mayor Muslih Madathil, addressing a press conference, said that around 100 companies, including national and international employers and accredited recruitment agencies, will participate in the fair. “The initiative aligns with Kannur's infrastructural growth, including the operational Kannur International Airport, the nearing completion of Azhikkal Port, and the six-lane National Highway project,” the Mayor said. He added that the fair is expected to attract investments to Kannur.
The job openings will cover sectors such as finance, healthcare, education, hospitality, construction, media, and IT, catering to candidates with educational qualifications ranging from SSLC to postgraduate degrees, including engineering, nursing, and ITI diplomas. The event will also feature career guidance sessions, insights into global job markets, and networking opportunities with corporate leaders. Accredited recruitment agencies will also participate.
To ensure maximum participation, the Corporation has launched an extensive promotional campaign, including college tours led by the Mayor, flash mobs, a mini-marathon, and interactive sessions with industrialists. Other initiatives include a reel video competition and a midnight run.
Over 3,000 candidates have already registered for the event through the website, www.kannurglobaljobfair.com. The Mayor emphasized the fair's potential to transform job prospects for Kerala's youth, urging collective support. Deputy Mayor P. Indira and other officials were present at the announcement.
