AHLIA UNIVERSITY CAREERS DAY

2015

1

Every year, Ahlia University hosts a Careers Expo for all Ahlia students and alumni. Our careers expo is an important way for the University to help our students begin successful careers.

We are delighted to report that 2015 saw 28 private companies, training institutes and government authorities exhibiting. Each organisation was invited to set up a stand and hundreds of students and alumni were able to speak with representatives of the organisations and discuss potential career and training opportunities.

Our 2015 Careers Expo was a highly successful event allowing our students and alumni an easy and informative opportunity to discuss their future. Our graduates are highly sought by organisations and private companies throughout Bahrain and the GCC enabling them to undertake positions with some of the top organisations within the GCC.

We strongly believe that our students should be given both academic and practical experience while studying at Ahlia, and every student has the opportunity to undertake an internship before they graduate.

This gives our students a chance to understand the working culture and ethics and to develop employment skills such as communications, working to deadlines, the impact of their role and understanding direction.

These skills contribute to life long success and make Ahlia graduates to be the best in Bahrain.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all the companies, organisations and training institutes who contributed to making the 2015 Careers Expo such a great success and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2016.
