Nokia's Oviggota
Business students' gateway to corporate world
Nokia last Sunday announced launching of a new initiative styled 'Oviggota', supporting business students gain valuable work experience and training to help improve their employment prospects and career opportunities, at a hotel in the capital. The objective of the campaign is to give the final year students of public and private universities an exposure to corporate life. The participating universities are - Shahjalal University, Jahangir Nagar and Dhaka University among public universities, and Brac University, East West and North South University among private universities. Registration will be done in the campuses of the participating universities. Interested students will have to register through signing up for an Ovi account, and their new login names and passwords will be used as pass to the workshops. Registered students will be invited to an 'on campus' workshop. The workshops will feature motivational life stories from corporate gurus, followed by a development workshop conducted by a corporate big gun. On completion of the workshop, students will be asked to form teams, solve predefined case studies and submit through Ovi mails. Submitted solutions will be judged by a distinguished panel of leading corporate personalities; and finally the best team from each university will go to the inter-university competition. During the Inter University Competition, members of all the winning teams from different universities will compete in an individual case study competition, where they will present solutions to different business cases. The top five students from the individual case study competition will be awarded 3 month internship in some of the top corporate houses of the country. All the students registered for Oviggota will also have access to the Oviggota website which will contain material and content from corporate experts in the form of forums and blogs, access to the Oviggota winners through micro blogs and access to training materials, videos and presentations from the competitions.
