Orientation Programme

After the intake of new batch, the club decided on holding orientation programs with the expectation of acknowledging them about the club. Two orientation programs were held for MPR students; on 8th July and for TCP students on 22nd July; coordinated by Rtr.Chinthaka Dharmasiri and Rtr Dakshina Bandara.. An introduction about the club was given at the first and then importance of joining Rotaract was explained further. It continued with several events such as speeches by club members, project presentation and videos.

The orientation was a huge success since more than 150 students were there to join with Rotaract at the General meeting which was held just after the orientation.

Are You Ready? 2010

PROGRAM OUTLINE:

Company Presentations: 20th and 21st April 2010

This was held prior to the Flagship Day as a complementary project where the session basically guided undergraduates on what each company expects from them and what are the requirements they need to have as undergraduates to be probable candidates for employment. This session served as a fine occasion to reach the undergraduates of the university and increased the awareness about the company. Organizations received the opportunity to give the undergraduates an inspiration about their company through presentations. It also enabled companies to make the entire university aware about them and
their role in the industry and generate an effective recognition among university students.

Ed after Grad: 22nd April 2010

“Ed after Grad” was a higher education program conducted for the under graduates of University of Moratuwa and was a new addition to the Are You Ready program outline from previous years. This program mainly focused on post graduate study opportunities at University of Moratuwa and other universities in Sri Lanka. The event was open for all under graduates but mainly targeted the final year students.

Flagship Day: 23rd April 2010

Interview panels from 30 different companies interviewed over 300 students in various disciplines in Engineering and IT faculty. Every student got a chance to face at least one interview and depending on the availability of their preferred companies, some had the opportunity of facing more than two interviews. Students were evaluated according to the Students Feedback Form supplied by us. It was filled by the interviewer and given back to the student after the interview session. We provided each company with a company coordinator preferably a club member & he/she was the responsible person for conducting interview sessions with less flaws. The panel coordinators (who were undergraduate students from level 1 and level 2) were benefited immensely by being able to interact with industry officials and being able to witness the interviewing procedures of companies. Are You Ready? ALMANAC" the graduate recruitment directory with contact details of all registered students included, was distributed among all company officials who participated in the event, to serve their future requirements of recruiting undergraduates. Our Strategic Partner DIMO and Gold Partner SLT were highly benefited through the presentations they had in our Inauguration ceremony of the Flagship day since the ceremony saw the participation of over 100 students in addition to the invitees and club members. Furthermore, apart from sponsors, companies who submitted their registrations in time got the chance of publishing their
company description in the "Are You Ready? Almanac".
