Your Responsibilities
We are looking for a new colleague to join our UE Service Center Team in Dubai on a part- time basis of 20 hours a week starting as soon as possible. If you share our vision of excellence in education and are committed to making a difference in the lives of our students and staff, we would love to have you on board.
The opportunity:
UE´s mission is to provide students with excellent and relevant education and the knowledge and skills they need to assert themselves in their professional lives as entrepreneurial thinkers and doers. Thus, career entry not only requires a timely and completed course of study but also a strategy for how and where students and graduates can apply for jobs. The Career Development Center is the central interface between studies and companies. The Center supports UE departments in preparing students for their transition into professional life and to the labour market. We also serve as a point of contact for employers and associations looking for interns, graduates, or for support in practical projects. To prepare our students for the contemporary world of work and to support their career plans, job advertisements are published and students are provided with support in building their career portfolio.
