Career Guidance and Alumni Office

Upon The Royal Decree, the establishment of King Abdullah the Second Fund law for Development was approved in 2001. By virtue of this law, the fund is considered as a non-governmental organization which contributes to the different governorates and areas of development in the Kingdom. It also supports developmental, social and educational efforts by establishing national and developmental projects. The projects aim to distribute the sustainable development outcomes through a partnership with the private sector and the institutions of civil society to improve citizens' living standards. The office of the fund was established in the University to achieve its objectives through supervising and boosting students’ creativity and excellence. The first Career Guidance and Graduates Follow Up Office was established on October 15, 2003 in the University of Jordan. It was recommended by the Jordan Youth Forum which was held under the patronage of his Majesty King Abdullah II. The forum implemented the Majestic Royal Directions which emphasized the importance of establishing communication links between students and the civil community institutions.
