A great opportunity to establish communication channels between companies and graduates.
The University Center for Career Development at Fayoum university (FUCCD) organizes Info Sessions that aim to create new job opportunities. In these
meetings, major companies present themselves, and university
graduates become aware of the available opportunities to work within
those companies. Graduates in these Sessions also gain an
understanding of the real requirements of the job market, identifying
their strengths that qualify them for those positions or areas where they
need to improve to meet the requirements of the local and global job
market.
