Professional gathering at LAU and a students’ orientation week at Kafaat

The Office of Alumni Relations jointly with the Office of the Dean for Students Affairs at the Lebanese American University (LAU) organized last Friday a broad professional meeting under the title, ‘LAU Annual Business Network Ceremony’. For its tenth consecutive year, the event saw the participation of some 100 institutions and companies, with the aim to introduce the labor sector to the talents presented by the university and at the same time, familiarize the students with the labor market requirements.  

Meanwhile, the vocational and university faculties at Al Kafaat Foundation in Ain Saadeh-Fanar, Metn area, held an extensive orientation week for intermediate and high school students which attracted over 2500 guests and visitors. The foundation has set its action plan based on the goals expressed by Lebanese youth and with the aim of guiding them in selecting the appropriate disciplines available in the market, and given the variety of offered academic disciplines, which largely creates confusion among students.
