Dhaka University Central Students’ Union, known as DUCSU, created more than 430 job opportunities for Dhaka University students at 31 Chinese companies. The openings were offered during the Sino-Bangla Day 2026 job fair at the university’s Teacher-Student Centre grounds on August 17. Thousands of job seekers attended the daylong event and submitted CVs at company booths.

The fair was jointly initiated by the Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh and Dhaka University, and organized by DUCSU and the Confucius Institute. Running from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., it included 31 Chinese companies from technology and other sectors. The participating companies initially collected CVs from more than 400 candidates.

DUCSU Vice President Sadik Kayem said the union undertook the initiative amid institutional failures to create employment opportunities for young people. Organizers said qualified candidates would be selected in stages after initial screening, interviews and other recruitment procedures. The event also featured cultural performances, including lion dance, tai chi, and songs from China and Bangladesh. DUCSU International Secretary Khan Jasim said organizers would seek to arrange similar events in the future.
