For those who know of us and for
those of whom this will be a first
meeting, our name is UKTSU and
this abbreviation simply stands
for UNITED KINGDOM TAMIL
STUDENTS UNION. We are a nonpolitical registered charity that
comprises solely of Tamil students
and graduates from various parts
of the United Kingdom. Regardless
of the differences in our chosen
career paths, hobbies and
locations within the UK we all share
an undeniable moral belief “To
better the lives of those children
who did not have the opportunity
to do so themselves”.
UKTSU is hosting one of the biggest, and unique Careers Fair on Friday 11th April 2014
in central London in order to expose Tamil undergraduates and graduates to successful
companies in sectors they are interested in, along with careers advice and networking
opportunities.
UKTSU took on this initiative after coming into contact with many Tamil undergraduates
who were unsure of the career path they want to take and graduate students who were
unsure on how to pursue their chosen career path and network with companies they are
interested in.
UKTSU will be providing unique opportunities for driven undergraduates and graduates
to find out more about the requirements and work experience needed to obtain internships and have face-to-face contact with representatives of established companies
in sectors they are interested in. Moreover, some of the exhibiters will also be offering
work experience placements to individuals they are impressed by. This event also aims
to support students with CV writing, advise them on writing an effective cover letter and
provide them with interview skills to secure and progress into their chosen career field.
Additionally, there will be the opportunity for entrepreneurial students to pitch their ideas
directly to investors.
Students and graduates who are interested in attending this event can register online
at www.uktsu.org.

UKTSU is not in any way disillusioned
by how much commitment and
work is required to change the
lives of thousands of war afflicted
children. We are also very much
aware of the resources, privileges
and endless support we have in
the UK that can aid us in making
a true difference. It is because
of these very things UKTSU has
been able to create steps towards
reaching our vision and we call
these steps “Mini projects”. Please
do not misconstrue the use of the
word mini for anything related to
small or insignificant because this
would be far from the truth. Rather
than write a lengthy paragraph
attempting to tell you about the
mini projects, we would prefer for
you to look through these pictures
as words will not explain enough
the importance of our projects and
just how many items we may take
for granted that could lift a child’s
spirit.
