Every year, thousands of Nigerian students plans to abroad for either work or study, or both; as most international students are eligible to work while studying abroad. But out of these majority, only a minute few realize their dreams of studying/work abroad as a result of so many factors like: cost of studying abroad, scarce option of institutions to choose from as a result of high tuition fees, meeting the wrong agent, lack of advice/counselling on visa application, documents required for visa, wrong choice of countries, visa packaging among other factors.

Some others who have the financial wherewithal to pursue their dreams of studying abroad, but have those dreams thwarted because they meet the wrong agent. Others who desires greener pasture abroad after completing their studies in Nigeria, do not know how to get their dream jobs abroad and the right agent to approach.

Meeting the needs of prospective Nigerian students who want to either work or study abroad, that is why Work & Study Abroad Fair (WASAF) came on board.

This would be the 3^rd edition of WASAF as we have been organizing this for the past three years. Organizing fair, study abroad presentation and student’s recruitment is the norm of education recruitment agencies. But what makes WASAF different from other programmes is that opportunities the programme presents, and for the fact there are array of choices available to the participants. Most agents just do let’s say, UK or Canada or Europe. But WASAF brings everthing together in one venue in one place, and whether you are planning to study or work, live abroad, or just travel abroad, WASAF has all the answer for your question. WASAF is a one-stop solution to all your overseas needs. It is not just a study/work abroad seminar, it is a panacea to all your overseas needs.

This year’s WASAF, we will be focusing on close to forty countries like: the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Checks Republic, Georgia, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Australia, France, Turkey, Cyprus, Ukraine, Romania, Poland, India, Slovenia, Mauritius, Dubai, Hungary, Barbados, Austria, Norway, Finland, Malaysia, Philippines, Belarus. Brazil, South Africa, etc.

The other aspect of WASAF is on the work abroad programme. All international students can work while studying for about 20 hours per week in almost all countries except Ukraine and India. Medical students by virtue of their course can only work few hours or are not allowed to work at all except on long vacation. Other prospective applicants who want to work abroad after graduation also have opportunity during this workshop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

1. Why should I attend WASAF 2016? WASAF 2016 is an opportunity of a lifetime for those who have been nurturing the dreams of studying/work abroad. Most times, some opportunities present themselves to us, but we toy with it, thinking that Mr. Opportunity will always come. But we are mistaken as the opportunity we fail to grab or seize now, may never present itself until 15 or 20 years later. WASAF then is an opportunity to have all the question bothering you about studying/working abroad answered. The reason why you need to attend WASAF are stated below:

You will be given on the spot assessment and free counselling on either studying or working abroad.

You will have all the questions bothering you answered

2. Why makes WASAF different from other recruitment programme/fair/exhibition? WASAF is different from other fair, exhibition or presentation because we are giving you a choice to choose from close to forty countries at the same time whether you plan to study abroad or work abroad, you will have a choose among all the countries listed. We have suddenly discovered that many prospective students are shifting their focus from some countries that are too expensive or beyond reach in terms of tuition fees and some other restriction. One good example is the UK. Students are now exploring study options in Canada and other European countries like: Turkey, Cyprus, Belarus, Austria, Slovenia, Bulgaria, etc. Another reason why you need to attend WASAF is because of our expertise. We are experienced in handling students’ admission, work visa, tourist visa and how to package visa application. Apart from this, we also advise students on scholarships. There are some universities that are offering 100% tuition fees for undergraduate and post-graduate programme. But only few students know about this. That is why we came on board to advise prospective students on choice of study. Besides, many people wants to work abroad, but falls into the hands of wrong agents who swindle them and at the end they get frustrated.

3. What should I expect from WASAF? At WASAF, you should be expecting all your study/work abroad needs met. Sometimes, we invite our partner universities who assesses students’ documents and offer on the spot admission to qualified students.
