The Princess Basma Center for Jordanian Women’s Studies at Yarmouk University conducted a training workshop entitled “Professional Communication in the Workplace,” specifically designed for female academics at the University, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance professional skills and develop the academic work environment.
The workshop was delivered by Dr. Dina Al-Nasser, Executive Director of Consultancy and Beat of Perfection Training, and addressed a range of specialized interactive themes, most notably the fundamentals of management and leadership, personality analysis, conflict management, and negotiation skills. These topics contribute to strengthening effective communication and improving institutional performance efficiency.
This workshop is part of the Center’s training programs aimed at empowering female academics and building their professional capacities, in line with Yarmouk University’s mission to support sustainable academic development.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, MP Ahmad Al-Safadi, sponsored the dialogue session, held in the presence of the Vice President of Yarmouk University for Scientific Research, International Accreditations, and Rankings, Professor Ruba Bataineh. The session was organized by the Princess Basma Center for Jordanian Women’s Studies, in cooperation with the “Yalla Nsharek, Yalla Nethazab” Initiative and the Imar Irbid Foundation, under the title:
“Jordanian Women as a Fundamental Pillar in the Comprehensive National Modernization Project.”
The session featured contributions from former Minister Dr. Mohammad Obaidat, former Senator Aminah Al-Zoubi, MP Dr. Abdul Nasser Al-Khasawneh, Director of the Princess Basma Center for Jordanian Women’s Studies Dr. Batool Al-Muhaisen, and the Head of the Initiative, Saif Al-Islam Bani Mustafa.
The discussion addressed the participation of Jordanian women in political life and their role in the comprehensive national modernization project pursued by the Jordanian state.
The Princess Basma Center for Jordanian Women’s Studies organized a training workshop for university students entitled “Personal Interview Skills and How to Make a Positive Impression on the Interviewer.” The workshop was delivered by Dr. Maram Al-Abdallah from the Language Center.
The workshop covered several key topics, including the importance and types of job interviews, as well as their three main stages (before, during, and after the interview). It also addressed the essential preparations applicants should undertake to ensure proper readiness, in addition to persuasion skills, the importance of body language in creating a strong first impression, and adherence to appropriate professional attire and conduct as decisive factors in the success of job interviews.
The workshop also featured a range of interactive activities carried out by students through organized group work, aiming to enhance the practical aspect of learning and develop their communication and teamwork skills. This contributes to narrowing the gap between academic education and labor market requirements, and supports students’ readiness for professional integration with confidence and high competence.
In this context, the Director of the Center, Dr. Batoul Muheisen, emphasized the importance of this workshop in empowering university students and preparing them for a conscious transition from the academic environment to the labor market. She highlighted its role in strengthening students’ personal and professional skills and effectively utilizing them in job interviews, thereby enhancing their future employment opportunities in light of the highly competitive job market, which values talent and personal skills alongside academic specialization. This aligns with the University’s vision of graduating a knowledgeable generation equipped with the scientific and personal skills necessary to successfully engage in the labor market.
It is truly meaningful to leave a positive impact on the hearts and minds of our dear students—this is the core mission of both the University and the Center.
