How Professional Certifications Empower AUS Students and Alumni
In alignment with its mission and strategic planning, The American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland (AUS) focuses on equipping students with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in today's competitive job market. One effective way to achieve this is by encouraging students to pursue professional certifications, which can significantly enhance their resumes, validate their expertise, and increase their chances of securing their desired jobs. The AUS Career Services initiatives accomplish this by focussing on employability skills development and fostering industry relations.
