NSU Communications Club hosts Job Column Season 4
The North South University Communications Club, in collaboration with the NSU Career & Placement Center (NSUCPC), successfully organised Pubali Bank PLC Presents Job Column Season 4 on 26 June 2025. The flagship career event, themed "Navigating the Job Market of Bangladesh", saw record participation, drawing students from all academic years and disciplines in what organisers described as the biggest Job Column to date.
The day-long programme combined a career seminar with an interactive job fair, designed to provide both professional guidance and practical employment opportunities. The event commenced with welcome speeches from Dr Abdur Rob Khan, Treasurer and Pro-Vice Chancellor (In-Charge) of North South University, and Dr Md Taufiqul Islam, Director of CPC and Coordinator of B-JET and B-MET. Both speakers offered valuable perspectives on career development and the evolving employment landscape in Bangladesh.
The seminar featured a diverse panel of speakers from leading organisations. Md Abdul Quayyum, Head of Communications at UNDP Bangladesh, encouraged students to overcome mental blocks such as fear of failure and self-doubt. He shared his personal philosophy—the "Three H's: Head, Heart, and Hand"—as a guide for professional fulfilment.
