“In numerous countries, there are economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic, and our own Global Economic Conditions Survey (GECS) speaks to this ongoing uncertainty. But we know that hundreds of companies are still in need of ACCA talent, the finance professionals who can steer organisations of all sizes to sustainable recovery,” he stated.

He said the virtual career fair would provide employers with an opportunity to showcase and advertise their available job opportunities, and also to engage with new talent and future employees in real time.

He noted that previous global virtual careers fairs have resulted in over 3,000 job opportunities and 60,000 job views via the ACCA Careers job site, leading to a staggering 21,000 unique job applications.’

“Employers across Africa are invited to participate in the Careers Fair through a virtual booth and advertise their vacancies by contacting local ACCA Offices or contact persons,” he stated.
