The Vice-Dean's Office for Educational Affairs and Development, represented by the Alumni Affairs Unit, held a workshop for potential graduates in all departments of the college with a former graduate. In the workshop, the graduate shared his academic and professional journey, highlighting the main challenges he faced and the key lessons he learned throughout his career.
Among the most common challenges faced by graduates are not having practical experience, lack of clarity in career path, and the shift from academic life to the workforce. On the other hand, graduates have numerous opportunities to bridge this gap, such as training programs, volunteer work, part-time jobs, professional development courses, freelance work, and small projects.
The alumnus emphasized that the most important lesson students learn after graduation is that success doesn’t come all at once—it is the result of small, consistent steps. He also highlighted that challenges are not obstacles, but rather opportunities for growth and development.
Key topics discussed included: What was your university experience like? What challenges did you face after graduation? And what advice would you give to students in each department?
The workshop concluded with an open discussion and a Q&A session, allowing students to engage and ask their questions.
