Career Advising

The program is designed to support the career planning endeavors of AUC students and alumni in individual and group settings through the following services:

  • Individual Career Advising: Career advisors are available to counsel students and alumni on career related matters. Advisors assist in identifying different career options and support students in making occupational choices that are compatible with their skills and interests. Peer Career Advisors provide assistance in the areas of resume writing and interviewing.
     
  • Self-Assessment: Students are encouraged to develop a better understanding of their personality types, interests, skills, and values to help them take well-informed career decisions. The self-assessment process is enhanced by the use of specialized inventories, such as The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong Interest Inventory (SII); both instruments are administered and interpreted by qualified professionals.
     
  • Career Development Workshops
    Each semester, CAPS conducts a series of workshops which are designed to provide students with the job search skills required for marketing their qualifications to employers. Topics covered include career planning, high impact resumes, job search strategies, power interviewing and your path to graduate study.


Career Exploration Preparation

To land satisfactory employment, students are encouraged to research their occupational interests, career options, and employers’ information; in addition to acquiring hands-on experience that complements their academic background.

  • Career Resources Library: To support students’ career planning endeavors, CAPS career library hosts a wide variety of general career-related resources and corporate-specific recruiting materials.
     
  • Career Mart: In the spring, AUC hosts an annual Career Mart, which allows students to meet with professionals from a variety of disciplines in an informal setting and explore various career fields and relevant career opportunities.
     
  • Job Shadowing Program: CAPS helps students explore their career as early as their freshman year. Job Shadowing allows students to shadow a business professional in their field of interest for one or two days to see what a daily routine of that career is really like.
     
  • Internship Program: CAPS organizes an internship program through which AUC students gain valuable work experience during the winter break or summer vacation. Students apply to the announced internships.
     
  • Career Conference: The office organizes an annual career conference for senior students to facilitate their transition to the world of work. The conference allows the students to network with corporate professionals and equips them with the necessary tools for their career planning and job search process.

Recruitment Services

Throughout the year, the office provides an interactive communication channel between AUC graduating students/alumni and employers seeking qualified job candidates. The program includes:

  • Employment Fairs: Twice a year, AUC hosts local, national and multinational employers in an informal one-day recruiting event in order to promote a productive exchange of career information between employers’ representatives and AUC students and alumni seeking professional employment. Details on participating companies and available vacancies are published in an Employment Fair booklet.
     
  • Vacancy Announcements: The office publishes a weekly e-jobs bulletin that communicates current employment opportunities to seniors and alumni subscribers via e-mail. Hard copies are posted weekly on CAPS bulletin boards.
     
  • Resume Referral Service: The office maintains a resume data bank for alumni engaged in the job search process. The data bank is utilized to refer to the employer the resumes of interested applicants whose qualifications match the company’s requests.
     
  • On-Campus Corporate Visits: To facilitate the interaction between students and employers, CAPS coordinates on-campus company recruiting visits which include corporate presentations, case study seminars and interviews.

Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action

Director: Samah Selim

Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action of the AUC (EOAA) is the embodiment of the American University in Cairo’s commitment to the value of equality and an environment free of harassment and discrimination.

The EOAA helps facilitate the development of students who respect the rights of others, diversity, and multiculturalism. Through training, joint events and activities, we provide students with the life-skills that effectively help establish their future identities, and assist them in their contribution to attitude changes in Egypt. EOAA helps prepare the students for challenging careers in national and multinational organizations that operate in a dynamic, diverse and multicultural global village.

Accomplishing the above, EOAA holds regular training sessions, seminars and symposiums on a variety of topics such as: integrating the disabled or the challenged, cultural sensitivity training, managing diversity, women’s issues, saying no to harassment including sexual harassment, what discrimination does to people, the societal integration of the aged and many more. EOAA also hosts several cultural oriented events that emphasize diversity and equality. Activities furthermore aim to link students to different entities working in these fields. Over and above that, EOAA has its own publication called Linkage (which is also available online) and a multimedia library that includes books, journals, videos about gender, diversity, equality, equal opportunity laws and practice.

EOAA also has a preventive and prescriptive role, helping prevent harassment and discrimination at AUC as well as promote awareness of these issues outside the premises to the larger community.

The office advises, counsels and educates all AUCians (students, faculty and staff) about their legal rights and responsibilities. When and if harassment or discrimination takes place, EOAA mediates or investigates such incidents, and takes measures to ensure that such incidents do not recur.

EOAA is the custodian of the University Policy on Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action and its Policy on Sexual Harassment that are applicable to all AUCians (students, faculty and staff).

Office of International Programs

Associate Provost for International Programs: Wm. Cyrus Reed

The Office of International Programs is responsible for the academic components of all international programs at AUC. One of International Programs key responsibilities is for outbound study abroad programs, which are composed of three areas. Direct enrollment programs enable AUC students to enroll directly at a university overseas with the intent to transfer that credit back to AUC to count toward their degree. Exchange programs for one year or one semester are also administered, with the cooperation of the Office of International Student Services, by the Office of International Programs. The third area of off-campus study for which the Office of International Programs is responsible, is short-term, faculty- led field studies that take place during either the January term or the summer. The Director of Off-Campus Study is responsible for all three of these areas.

The Office of International Programs is also responsible for the academic component of the incoming study abroad programs. The Director of International Advising handles the academic advising of these students and works with various offices on campus to insure that this advising can take place in a timely fashion in an on-line format. Moreover, International programs is responsible for working with departments to develop the international curriculum at AUC and to develop ways I which student and faculty achievements in the international arena can be recognized and celebrated.

Special Academic Programs are those in which AUC organizes programs for visiting groups. Many universities and other agencies in the US and elsewhere organize academically oriented programs of their own in Egypt, and AUC actively supports these, both during the academic year and in the summer and January terms. AUC’s role ranges from designing and implementing an entire program to providing a one time lecture. Current AUC partners include, among others, Ulsan University in Korea, St. Olaf and Carleton Universities in Minnesota, Seaton Hall University in New Jersey, and the Law Faculty of the University of Zurich.

Many of the AUC’s international activities are underpinned by formal agreements. Negotiating, reviewing, and maintaining administrative oversight of these agreements is a key responsibility of this office, as is the recruitment of degree-seeking undergraduate students from outside the Arabic speaking world.
