Akhtaboot as Main Sponsor at Al Zaytounah University First Job Fair, 2009

Akhtaboot – The Career Network announced its sponsorship and participation in the first Zaytounah University Job Fair, which was organized by King Abdullah II Fund for Development as well as Media Steps as Main Organizer.
The Job Fair was held on May 18th, at Al Zaytounah University campus and was attended by HR representatives from the Private and Public sectors as well as a number of Civil Society organizations. Participating companies included: INJAZ, Extensya, Tala Abu Ghazaleh Organization, AMIDEAST, Creativita, The Black Iris Café and Media Steps.

The main aim of the Job Fair was to help recent university graduates connect with potential employers and to put qualified talents to work which as a result will accelerate growth and help stimulate the economy by putting more fresh graduates into the workforce. The program of the Job fair included a CV Writing session which was developed and delivered by an Akhtaboot representative.

Akhtaboot’s participation in this Job Fair aims at reinforcing Akhtaboot’s social role it plays within the community which has been highlighted with the launch of the “Akhtaboot Cares Initiative” earlier this year.

The “Akhtaboot Cares Initiative” is a comprehensive plan that was developed through partnerships with a number of third parties and educational institutions such as the University of Jordan, Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT), Philadelphia University, Sight & Sound Educational Center, AIESEC Jordan, Pioneers Tech Soft and Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans, in which Akhtaboot maintains an ongoing presence in Jordan’s educational institutions, through developing and executing specific training programs that are tailor-made to educate graduates-to-be on how to approach the job market and to smooth their transition into the professional world.
