The inauguration ceremony was held at the Amphitheater of the Faculty of Administration Sciences and was attended by the host Dean Raúl Mangia; the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Food Sciences (UNER) Luz Marina Zapata; representing the Dean of the UTN, engineer Carlos Blanc was present; the Departmental Director of Schools Julio Barrios and for the Concordia Teachers' Institute, the academic secretary Lucas Acosta.

PUBLIC AND FREE UNIVERSITY
In his inaugural speech, the mayor Azcué stated that “this fair is a good space to reaffirm our commitment and our firmness in defense of public and free education”, asking to be aware of this, “especially in these times where it seems that many people claim exclusive ownership of the defense of freedom”.
“Our country has been great to the extent that we have appealed to education as a tool for transformation and these types of fairs promote and encourage our residents to continue studying, go to university and get trained” he highlighted.
The mayor urged that “our citizens understand that the transformation of our city depends on that idea, that we all have to fulfill a role and for that we have to prepare ourselves. In Concordia we have a great asset which is the presence of universities of the highest level and with each one of them, we want to work in an articulated way” concluded the Municipal President.
MORE THAN 20 ACADEMIC OFFERINGS
For his part, the Dean of the Faculty of Administration Sciences Raúl Mangia recalled that the convening purpose of the fair is to make available to those interested a comprehensive knowledge of the possibilities of pursuing higher education studies in this Mesopotamian city, highlighting that “there are 24 academic offerings and 21 years ago, when the fair was inaugurated, there were only 6”.
The Vice Dean of the Faculty of Food Sciences (UNER) Luz Marina Zapata congratulated the organizers and addressed the audience present, mostly made up of young students, remarking that “I dare to give you a small piece of advice and that is to take advantage of this opportunity, seeking to know what to study and thus see how you visualize yourselves 4, 5 or more years from now”, underlining that the Concordia Department today has more than 200 academic proposals.
Finally, the Departmental Director of Schools, Julio Barrios, highlighted that “from the municipal administration, from our administration and from the administration of those who represent us at the provincial level, we understand that with citizens who learn, with training, preparation and dedication, we will be a more thriving, prepared and creative city”.
It should be noted that the Career Fair was declared of Municipal Interest by the Deliberative Council as well as of Provincial Interest by both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
The Career Fair continues this Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Faculty of Administration Sciences (UNER), at 1424 Tavella Street.
