Introductory Meeting for the Job Market Readiness Program Pre-Graduation

The Department of Geography at the University of Jordan held a special program for the job market on Monday, February 24, 2025, in the Al-Farahidi Auditorium, attended by faculty members and students who are expected to graduate from the Geography Department. The details of the Job Market Readiness Program courses 1 and 2 were discussed, which aim to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully enter the job market. This course focuses on developing a set of core competencies that graduates need to excel in a competitive work environment.
The primary importance of this course lies in bridging the gap between theoretical studies and the actual requirements of the job market. Many graduates lack the practical and applied skills that enable them to quickly adapt to a new work environment. Therefore, the Job Market Readiness course seeks to provide students with the tools and skills required for this smooth transition.
During this meeting, several key points were discussed concerning the essential skills and tools that graduating students should possess before entering the job market. These include nine main topics:
1. Introduction to Geography and the Job Market
2. Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing and Their Role in Empowering Students to Make Informed Decisions Based on Geographic Data
3. Sustainable Work Skills Required in the Job Market
4. Skills for Geographic Scientific Research
5. Job Skills in Geography
6. Scientific Writing
7. Entrepreneurship and Innovation
8. Advanced Studies in Human Geography
