According to the statement, "in the three sessions that have been held, students were informed of platforms like JobHai, Apna, and LinkedIn and were also given advice on how to network in order to locate the ideal job." During the session, freshman in the class were given a walk-through of the portals in addition to being recommended practises to follow while preparing for interviews and applying for employment are communicated to the job market. Dhuwarakha Sriram, Chief of YuWaah, Youth Development and Partnerships at UNICEF, gave a speech at the event and stated, "As a public-private youth partnership platform, YuWaah is devoted to giving access to economic possibilities for young people and aiding them in becoming job-ready."
