As a chief measure of the Foundation's dedication to the transfer of knowledge and skills to Lebanon and the Middle East, the Practical Training/Career Programs department assists Hariri scholars to locate employment by putting them in touch with potential employers in Lebanon and the Middle East after they have completed their studies and period of practical training.
Practical Training/Career Programs also assists Lebanese expatriates in North America to take advantage of career opportunities in Lebanon and the Middle East. Besides setting up recruitment drives for employers, the Department maintains a Job Data Bank for employers, a Student Resume Data Bank, and an Executive Resume Data Bank through which it routinely matches an employer's requirements with an individual's education and skills.
The Department also participates in the Consortium of Washington Metropolitan universities and colleges and its International Student Job Fair hosted by American University. Any Lebanese college student, graduate student, or recent graduate can register to attend the annual October event through the Hariri Foundation.
Beginning in 1989, the Hariri Foundation, through Practical Training/Career Programs, has provided to interested employers the resumes of individuals seeking employment in Lebanon or elsewhere in the Middle East.
Lebanese nationals in North America can at no cost have their resume registered with and sent to employers through:
Student Resume Data Bank: All Lebanese studying at or having graduated from a college or university in North America can register with the Student Resume Data Bank.
Executive Resume Data Bank: Lebanese expatriates with a minimum of 10 years professional experience in North America can register with the Executive Resume Data Bank to have their resumes submitted to employers in the public and private sectors of Lebanon or elsewhere in the Middle East.
Companies/organizations that have either requested the resumes of or have hired resume data banks registrants include:
