FORWARD has evolved successfully since May 2001 as a key forum where all parties concerned with employment, Higher education and training can meet and interact effectively to keep up with the increasing challenges of the global market.
FORWARD 2010 will bring together the Lebanese workforce with more than 200 local, regional and multinational leading companies, recruitment agencies, associations, professional orders, higher educational institutions, training and cultural Centers, and others.
Participating in FORWARD 2010 will provide you with countless opportunities among which:
• To have face-to-face and establish direct recruitment contact with more than 40,000 qualified job seekers: With a large number of graduates and “in-between jobs”, and with job seekers from junior to senior level and from different backgrounds visiting the forum, the whole recruiting process can be conducted on site. You can collect and filter CVs, conduct interviews, and select the most suitable candidates. Over the years and after eight consecutive editions of FORWARD, on site recruitment has proved to be hassle free in addition to being both time and cost efficient for companies.
• To get the maximum results from a single event: Rather than visiting dozens of university job fairs and working with recruiting agencies, you will have direct exposure to the Lebanese and regional job seekers visiting the forum. This event will allow you to fully reach your target with a minimum investment from your side.
• To communicate your structure and the company’s recruitment process, policies & needs to the forum-visitors: The forum has designated specific conference areas that allow companies to hold a brief presentation about their structure, employment policies, recruitment criteria and salary scales. .
• To increase awareness about your company and overall exposure: Being present at FORWARD along with high profile companies can only consolidate your market share and brand equity. Your participation in the forum would provide you with valuable exposure that would add value to your business and thus mark your organization as an attractive workplace with best-in-class talent. Additionally, FORWARD will equip you with the means to educate today's job seekers about the company’s overall activities in its designated sector, which would create awareness among your aspired potential recruits about the company and its line of business
• To enhance your link with future Graduates: “today’s youths are tomorrow’s professionals”. Your yearly presence at FORWARD helps create spontaneous brand recognition amongst future professionals and enhances the image and name of your company in the minds of tomorrow’s graduates, who will be able to interact with you. This in turn will encourage best-in-class talents to seek your company as a prime employment target once they graduate, thus making it easier for you to attract them in the near future with minimal efforts required.
• To establish direct contacts with thousands of professionals and develop various possibilities for partnerships: Participating in the forum enables you to establish direct contact with various leading multinational, regional and local exhibitors and engage in constructive two-way dialogue to uncover opportunities for potential partnerships and affiliations.
• To fulfill your role in the society: As a leading company, you have a duty to confirm your civic and social role and demonstrate an unfettered commitment to the community you serve, especially in such difficult times. This would develop your company’s image as one that cares rather than being a profit oriented organization that is merely looking for new strategies to build and sustain consumer relations. .
• To support Lebanon’s economic and social rebirth; Your participation in FORWARD will help shape up the country‘s growth strategy and reinvestments and present opportunities for progress and development. Your participation will also encourage faith and trust in Lebanon’s ability to stand on its feet and rebuild its future. As such, you will also play an important role in boosting the morale of Lebanese citizens and communities by combating unemployment.
