Under its programs and activities targeted at activating its positive role towards the community and as part of its efforts to provide its students with employment opportunities at leading organizations, the Women’s College at Al Yamamah University organized its first Careers Days on May 11 and 12, 2010.
The event consisted of an exhibition, where the participants met representatives of different employers, in addition to a number of lectures by chosen elite of Saudi female leaders. The students and visitors benefited from a vast amount of information about their desired career paths. They had a chance to discuss employment opportunities, submit their resumes, and have interviews.
Dr. Hessah Al-Sheikh, Dean of the Women’s College, said, “We believe that such events contribute to furthering our students’ understanding of the requirements of today’s competitive market and provide them with the chance to experience what they learn in real-life situations”. She added, “We are proud of the success of this year’s Careers Day” and that this event will be held annually.
The Career Day 2010 was sponsored by Sadad, Al Rabie, Riyadh Bank, and Souq.com.
