About the Professional Work Basics course:
Young people in most parts of our Arab world are racing for limited jobs in many sectors. Perhaps the opportunity for technical and university education, provided for many of them, the opportunity to acquire professional knowledge and technical skill. In this matter they are almost equal. Imagine with me a young man or woman, who would like to work in a job within the specialty that he studied and trained in. That young man’s field could be in computer programming, nursing, accounting, marketing, graphic design, or anything else. This young man applies for a job, and discovers that he is competing with dozens of young men and women for that job. What will distinguish it from others as long as everyone is a graduate of a technical institute, college, or university, and thus have acquired the necessary information to work in that field? There is no doubt that what distinguishes that person from others, when technical knowledge is almost equal, are human skills. In this course, we explore the most important behaviors that are characterized by successful people in their work. Whether you are a new employee or a seasoned worker, you will enter a new world, linking advice with an example, and story with reality. In this course, we answer questions that go beyond the technical knowledge that is a must for every worker or job seeker, to an exploration of some human skills that distinguish some workers from others.
