The Career Development Unit at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology at Yarmouk University, in collaboration with the Engineering Group Consulting Association (EGCA), has launched the “Engineering Skills Analysis Initiative for Graduating Engineers.” The initiative aims to assess and analyze the most in-demand and stagnant skills in the local and regional job markets, in order to enhance graduates’ employability and better align their capabilities with market needs.
The launch was marked by a visit from Eng. Ihsan Zaytoun to the faculty on Wednesday, in the presence of the Dean of the Faculty, several faculty members, and a large number of students. During the session, the objectives and implementation plans of the initiative were presented and discussed.
The initiative will involve 10 student research teams, each consisting of 5 students, who will carry out surveys and field research under the supervision of an academic committee. The top three studies will receive financial and material prizes, and all participating students will be awarded certificates.
In his remarks, Eng. Zaytoun emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between academic education and job market demands. He praised Hijjawi Faculty’s proactive approach in launching practical initiatives that empower students and guide them toward successful career paths.
The initiative will include distributing digital and field questionnaires, analyzing the collected data, and publishing the results to help students make better-informed career decisions.
