Career Guidance and Alumni Office

___________________________________________________________

The idea of establishing the Office for Careers Guidance and Alumni Affairs and the King Abdullah II Fund for Development in Jordanian universities came as a result of the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein. The aim is to help students make sound decisions regarding their lives and career paths by providing numerous services and training programs that help them develop their skills and prepare them for a successful entrance into the labor market.

Princess Sumaya University of Technology, having comfortably reached the height of excellence, is fully deserving of having its story of greatness told, and we therefore present it to you with pleasure and pride. PSUT is a pioneering educational institution that combines excellence and innovation in all its fields of study. PSUT focuses on ensuring students a high level of education in all disciplines, which will enable them to contribute to the building of their country and keep pace with continuous global development. The university offers a range of academic disciplines designed specifically to suit the aspirations of young people at this time, enabling them to achieve their goals and build their future on solid academic grounds. This is in line with the vision of HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, Chair of PSUT’s Board of Trustees, in encouraging creativity in the preparation of outstanding graduates, trained in unique specializations that keep abreast of the rapid technological development currently being witnessed by the world of technology and knowledge.

Alumni Affairs

The Office works to provide PSUT students with internship programs to equip them with the practical experience and skills required in the various available sectors in the labor market. The Office also plays a major role in organizing the university's Careers Week events to connect students and graduates with public and private sector institutions. Current PSUT students are connected with graduates, thus motivating the students to follow the appropriate path to build their own careers. There is an ongoing process of communication between PSUT and its graduates, so that the graduates keep the university and its Schools informed of how their careers are developing and the university can thereby measure the extent of compatibility of its graduates with market needs. This ongoing contact also serves to increase the graduates' feelings of loyalty and belonging to the university. The following services are all part of the follow-up offered to PSUT alumni:
 
  • Alumni database
  • Organizing alumni meetings (Alumni Conference, Alumni Forum)
  • Follow-up of graduates’ career status
  • Data and studies
  • Success stories
