In Brief
Internship Opportunities for Translation Students
LAU’s School of Arts and Sciences signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Joelle Aziz, a member of the Lebanese Syndicate of Certified Public Translators and owner of the Joelle Aziz Translation Firm, on November 12 at the Beirut campus. The agreement facilitates hands-on internship opportunities for students enrolled in the Translation Program, helping to strengthen their skills and deepen their expertise. This marks another milestone in a four-year collaboration with Aziz to support LAU students through internships and translation workshops.
Consulting Week Draws Over 200 Students
More than 200 students took part in LAU’s annual Consulting Week from September 22 to 26, organized by Career Development Services and the LAU Consulting Community. The event featured workshops, CV and cover-letter writing sessions, company recruitment presentations on both campuses and online, and registration in the consulting community. While most participants were from the schools of engineering and business, students from other disciplines also attended, creating a dynamic, multidisciplinary audience eager to explore careers, internships, and networking opportunities in consulting.
Gaining an Employability Edge Through Digital Competencies
To strengthen student employability, LAU’s Adnan Kassar School of Business (AKSOB) is collaborating with Forward Digital MENA to provide students and graduates with free access to the nammiskills upskilling platform. Supported by UNICEF under the World Bank’s Skilling-up Lebanon initiative, the program offers courses from AWS, Microsoft and LinkedIn. The agreement enhances career readiness through online courses, industry-recognized certifications and training in content marketing, search engine optimization, social media and generative AI.
Connecting Students and Alumni with Top Employers
Extending over a week, the hybrid LAU Spring 2023 Career Fair brought leading employers to LAU campuses. Meanwhile, and building on a long list of services available to students, the Office of Career Development ran an interactive campaign enticing students to perfect their elevator pitch, prepare a resumé and get to know more about the participating firms.
Kearney Recruits Engineering Seniors
Following a well-attended recruitment presentation last fall at the School of Engineering, Kearney, a global management consulting firm, offered five full-time jobs to engineering seniors, who will go on to work as Business Analysts at the company’s Dubai office. The firm is one of many to take interest in LAU students, who have been highly engaged in preparing for careers in consultancy.
