The American University of Bahrain recently concluded its second Career Fair, in partnership with Etijah Coaching. The Fair aimed at introducing students to the job market by bringing together more than 30 industry representatives on campus.

This event aimed at providing students with networking opportunities with potential employers, getting their CVs reviewed, practicing their interviewing skills, and learning about job opportunities in their respective industries.

The fair also provided expected-to-graduate students with valuable opportunities to connect with industry professionals and present their CVs for possible internship and job opportunities. 14 companies agreed to participate with the potential to offer student internships and jobs upon graduation. These included Zain Bahrain, GARMCO, Calo, Al Zayani Investments, Hope Talents, and many more.

Dr. Amal Al Awadhi, Dean of Students, commented, “We are very proud to host another successful edition of the AUBH Career Fair in partnership with Etijah Coaching. The feedback we received from students, faculty, and professionals motivates us to host more events that aim to upskill our students with the relevant skills for today’s market. We wish our students a successful journey ahead post-graduation and we are confident in their ability to reach new heights.”
