Iftar to Go Far: Ramadan event and career guidance

Lebanon Career Guidance June 2018

On May 19, 76 YES alumni from different YES cohorts (2005-2017) attended a Ramadan Iftar and career guidance event at Shallalat Al Barouk restaurant. This YES alumni Ramadan and career guidance event was a great opportunity for YES alumni to reunite and benefit from the great professional resources available within the YES alumni network. 

In addition to celebrating the holy month of Ramadan by breaking the fast together at the evening meal, this gathering included a career guidance session where older alumni who are already excelling in their professional careers guided the younger alumni who are still in university or are about to enter the workforce. 

Each professional alumnus/a had his/her own station. Some of the fields the YES alumni discussed were project management, entrepreneurship, law, medicine, business, education and teaching, programming, software engineering and molecular chemistry. These discussions were an opportunity for alumni to exchange experiences and develop even stronger ties with each other.

YES alumnus Mohamad Issa Jamal (YES 2007-2008, Lebanon, hosted by AYUSA in Bandera, TX) shares, “It was a great event on so many different levels. A lot of networking was going on and we got to exchange our professional experiences and guide the younger generation of YES. It is always great to be around the YES family!”
