GUST launches ‘Beyond’

Gulf University for Science &Technology (GUST) announced yesterday the launch of its recruitment platform “Beyond”, which aims to give students and alumni access to job opportunities in Kuwait across a variety of sectors in the form of full time and part time jobs, as well as internships. The Beyond recruitment platform is customized to benefit GUST’s students and alumni by connecting them with potential employers, and is free of charge to use.

The system itself is the brainchild of the Business Development and Corporate Relations Department (BDCR) at GUST, and enables businesses to post their job vacancies, and search for suitable candidates from the university’s pool of candidates. GUST Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Professor Salem Marzouq Al-Tuhaih, said, “With this new development, we bring our students closer to realizing their full potential by connecting them with a myriad of potential career opportunities.”

The Beyond platform is an extension of what GUST provides its students with regards to career opportunities. Every year, the BDCR Department hosts the annual Career Fair, which one of largest career fairs in Kuwait. Its aim is to ensure a smooth transition forstudents into the work force after graduation. This, coupled with the Beyond system means that students can cast a wider net when searching for a job, and are exposed to a variety of opportunities and roles that they may not have otherwise considered.
