It covered best practices towards job search motivating scholars to look for employment opportunities related to their specialties while stimulating them to think about, plan and develop their own career paths.
Commenting on the workshop, Randi Abdin, Director of Elia Nuqul Foundation, said: “ENF aspires to empower youth in various creative ways and in a multi-layered manner; we encourage the development of our scholars through equipping them with lifetime skills, scholarly enrichment and learning experience, professional and personal development facilitating their entrance to the real life with confidence, positive attitudes, motivation and hope, and thus, enhancing their employment opportunities”.
