Speaking at the opening of the Career Fair, UNEC Rector Professor Adalat Muradov said that the online fair is planned to be held every month in the upcoming future. Noting that the employment of graduates is one of the main goals of the strategic development of UNEC, the rector said that one of the indicators of the quality of universities is that they find a worthy place in the labor market.

In total, 5,674 graduates of UNEC, Zagatala branch and UNEC colleges will receive labor market certificates. The rector also spoke about the UNEC2B platform presented to the business world: “According to the platform, UNEC provides quality assurance to graduates, as if graduates are recruited, if weaknesses are identified, the university will train them in accordance with the requirements of the business world for three years. In addition, if a job interview reveals the weaknesses of UNEC students, UNEC undertakes to address those weaknesses prior to graduation.”
Muradov said that 66% of last year's graduates were employed and there was enough potential to increase this figure. Speaking about the fact that UNEC organized meetings with 31 companies last year and signed cooperation agreements with 9 organizations, the rector added that the information in the Agency's database will be integrated into the UNEC e-university model in cooperation with the State Employment Agency.
