With the COVID-19 pandemic bringing in-person work and professional gatherings to a halt, the Faculty of Al Alsun and Mass Communication, in cooperation with Egypt’s Society for Culture and Development, organized a series of online workshops on the improvement of professional and soft skills from December 23- 30, 2020. These workshops, organized by Professor Hanan Kilany, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environment Development, are part of the Faculty’s virtual engagement with the community.
Two workshops on writing resumes and improving interview and presentation skills for young university graduates were led by Dr. Ingy Emara, Associate Professor of Linguistics in Al Alsun Department. In addition, the Mass Communication Department Teaching Assistants Habiba Ayman, Nehal Walid and Amina El Sardy conducted two workshops on creating and managing a Facebook page and digital marketing. Each workshop was followed by application practicums. The participants expressed their appreciation to the trainers and to MIU for organizing these useful workshops as well as their request for more training workshops in the future.
