Alumni Affairs
The Office works to provide university 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 the University 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 feelings of loyalty and belonging to the University among its graduates. The following services are all part of the follow-up offered to PSUT alumni:
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 offer it to you with pleasure and pride.
