Employability and Entrepreneurship Office

The Office of Employability and Entrepreneurship recognizes the importance of connecting students with potential employers. That's why we host regular Speed Gob Dating events as a key component of our program offerings. These career fairs provide students with the opportunity to meet with a diverse range of employers, learn about job opportunities, and network with other professionals in their chosen field. At our speed job dating, attendees have the chance to participate in mock interviews, attend informative workshops and seminars before the big event, and connect with recruiters and hiring managers from top companies.

Our events are tailored to meet the needs of various industries and career paths, so there is something for everyone.

Our Co-op Programs are designed to give students the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals, allowing them to gain real-world experience in a supportive and structured environment while continuing their degree at Al Akhawayn University. These programs provide students with the chance to apply what they've learned in the classroom to a real-world setting and develop their skills in a professional setting.

Co-ops vary from internships in that they are mainly paid employment that allow students to develop the relationships and skills needed, before graduating by spending at least 7 months over summers and breaks in a full-time job linked to your curriculum.

Our list of companies includes, so far; Alstom, Alten, Banyan Tree, Capgemini, Intelcia, Leyton, Mazagan, Michlifen, and Polydesign.

This Metaverse Quest exposes students to meet esteemed local judges, leads them to delve deeper into complex business cases, and offers invaluable insights on how to crack cases successfully. Students also learned the art of effectively submitting a one-pager executive summary - a critical skill. This achievement is a true testament to the collaborative efforts and dedication of each team.
