- Web-based Job Fair Supports IBM's Expanding Operations across Africa

Zebrajobs announced today that IBM, a global leader in information
technology, is the lead sponsor of the first Africa Virtual Job Fair (AVJF)
organized by Zebrajobs.com and the Corporate Council on Africa. The Africa
Virtual Job Fair is the leading online platform connecting employers with
professionals to interact on wide-ranging career and employment opportunities
within the African continent.

As a title sponsor, IBM will be at the forefront of this innovative
recruitment method. The Africa Virtual Job Fair, scheduled to open on
September 30, 2009, will provide corporations and organizations with
tremendous advantages over traditional recruitment efforts. The AVJF will
allow employers to tap into the global talent pool to support their
operations in Africa.

"Our vision behind the launch of this first-ever virtual job fair is
focused on meeting multiple goals," explained Yusuf Reja, Chief Executive
Officer of Zebrajobs.com. "We are committed to maintaining a climate that
encourages U.S. and other foreign corporations and organizations to do
business in Africa. Critical to this effort is having a talent base from
which they can staff their operations."

IBM has been operating in Africa for nearly six decades investing more
than US$120 million in the last two years, as part of its strategy of
focusing in the world's growth markets. IBM spearheaded the Virtual Job Fair
as a continuation of its commitment to capacity building in Africa. Through
investment in human resources development, IBM is well positioned to help
create a smarter African economy to compete in the global market place.

Job seekers worldwide, from experienced professionals to recent
graduates, will have access to employment opportunities available from U.S.
and other foreign corporations doing business in Africa, development
organizations, multinational, and international organizations. The Web-based
job fair will enable prospective employees to search the job listings online,
submit CVs/resumes, attend networking events, obtain career advisory
services, and participate in interviews, all at no cost, from their home or
office.

The AVJF has been officially inaugurated on Thursday, May 14, 2009 at a
kickoff reception held at Washington Club, Washington DC in the presence of
representatives from U.S. corporations, international organizations, the
donor community, and African diplomatic mission. Co-hosting the event were
Jendayi Frazer, Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs
and Her Excellency Amina Salum Ali, the African Union Ambassador to the
United States.
