So this is like a big market for international jobs, if mighty market for international jobs, where different companies involved in International Development cooperation, in international political work, international relations come to show their work, they're what they're doing and the jobs they have. And students are able to come in and see the jobs and apply for the jobs. And I've had at least a lot of people testifying that they got their jobs when they came for this job fair here as students. I imagine that if I had known this when I was a student. My life would be very different. I would have taken a different course in my professional life. And it's important to note, and I'm saying this because most often, especially students who look like me, who come from my background shed themselves out from this. And I make this video as a testimony that. Even if he's telling us it's difficult, it's good to try these different options come to this job fair. I can see so many employers from GI Z to engage human global to Dentin Uberti and Gimondo Irena and and the dynamic is changing as everyone is talking about decolonization now, decolonization in in in in big close to someone about in personnel corporation. This also means that you begin to slowly imagine that there could be many more color people of color and people who look like like. Me, like us in in this field. So I encourage you all to go out and apply like take a look like so many down. There are so many jobs. I just even saw a job in Boya right in the company in an organization whose founder I know and and things like that. And here could really be a place to find something. I encourage you to to go out too fast. And now I am together with Whitney, the the guest who I don't know what it is in English. Is it chief executive officer or director? Executive director. Managing Director of our K AKA. LAU. Yeah, OK. Right, we'll put together this this job fair here. It's good to know that it's been going on for so many years. But Whitney, you, you, you, this the first one you organizing as as a managing director. How does it feel organizing this? I'm like really happy and overwhelmed to see that much organizations like 45 organizations over here and all of them are part of the Development Corporation. So it's like a really special job fair for this sector of Development Corporation. Thank you very much. Last year I was invited to this actually, and I decided to take part online. I did not come here, but because the chef, sure, the managing director this year is a fellow. African person looking like myself, I said I'm going to come in prison because we have to support our own when they when they are holding the power and the dynamics right now. I wanted to do this video because I wanted you to give a strong message for African students who are studying international relations, International Development, Development Corporation, social protection and all these things. Why should they come here? I think this job fair is really, really special for the the field of Development Corporation. Nine years ago I was at this job fair as a student, and now I'm the managing director of the organization who's doing this job there. So I think Development Corporation needs people like us, people looking like us, people with our mindset, our perspective. They're not seen yet. And I want our perspective to be seen in the developing cooperation, so. If you're one of those who are saying it doesn't really work, sometimes it no you apply, but it don't take you hear stories to inspire you. Nine years ago, she was here as a participant looking for jobs. Today she is the managing director organizing this. What message should I give? Again, thank you very much, Whitney. Thank you. Thank you so much. And we keep putting power on decolonizing spaces, decolonizing jobs, decolonizing operate. Great.
