A job fair has been held at Shanghai New York University for its first batch of graduates, who will leave college next spring.

Dozens of enterprises from a variety of different fields took part in the event, and according to Yu Lizhong, chancellor and chairman of the university's board, they "showed great interest in our students with their outstanding English language skills, cross-cultural communication capabilities and global vision".

More than 280 students, including about 130 from abroad, are preparing to graduate next year, Yu said, with around half seeking employment and the rest intending to go on to further study.
