Science graduates from Karim City College, affiliated to Kolhan University, will soon have an opportunity to work with Carmeuse — a Belgian multinational mining company which will commence operations in India from next year.
A four-member team from Carmeuse on Thursday visited Karim City campus to sign a letter of intent that will see the company come headhunting at the college from the next academic session.
The team, led by Carmeuse group director-general Yves Willems, signed the letter before students and faculty members on Thursday morning and expressed hope that Karim City would not only send its students for recruitment but also co-ordinate placements on behalf of other higher education cradles in Kolhan.
Addressing a small gathering after signing the letter, Willems said the company had operations in 92 countries and would be starting a new chapter in India.
“Every time I visit Asia, it leaves a deep and lasting impact on me. We feel that the future boom is definitely in Asia in general and India in particular. We are looking forward to this collaboration,” Willems said. He then went on to speak on the uses of lime and its market prospects in India as well as in countries of Southeast Asia.
College officials later said they were ready to chip in with whatever they could to ensure that their science graduates as well as others in and around the district bagged jobs with the company.
Students with diplomas in engineering or degrees in chemical engineering or metallurgy would be preferred for the jobs, they said.
“This is a very rare foreign collaboration with any MNC and a Kolhan University affiliated college. Let’s hope youngsters here bag good jobs,” said Yahiya Ibrahim, faculty member of the college.
