Office of Corporate Linkages

WELCOME MESSAGE OF DIRECTOR

VISION

A vibrant platform for academia, alumni and corporate world to share and learn

MISSION

To initiate and manage initiatives and programs to facilitate faculty, alumni and industry interactions

The Directorate of Corporate Linkages remains very active throughout the academic year as it has four pivotal tasks to which it must attend:

a) Liaison with Industry and Chambers of Commerce : Networking
This Directorate is responsible to maintain a full time liaison with the Corporate Sector, the Chambers of Commerce, and other Regulators. Such an initiative, it is hoped, would assist in retaining a link with prospective employers who might be inclined to visit the University in search of human capital. Under this endeavor MOU’s have been signed with the Chambers of Commerce and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), for cooperation in R&D and Research.

b) Skills for life: Employment and Self-employment Ready
The Directorate of Corporate Linkages prepares the graduates of CUST for employment in the market, or for self employment. An attempt is made to give the students a touch of the working environment through the RSVP program. Here volunteers are selected and are attached to various Directorate s of the University where they could gain some work experience. Certificates of merit are issued to those who excel. Students close to graduation are assisted with proper CV preparation before the corporate sector is invited to the campus. Proper binded books containing the CV’s of graduating students are prepared and distributed to prospective employers. Furthermore seminars and training workshops / lectures etc are also held free of cost for the benefit of students who are in their final semesters.

c) Alumni Relations : A Vital Connection for University Growth
Liaison with Alumni is another essential element of the Directorate of Corporate Linkages. The recently launched Association of CUST/MAJU Alumni (ACMA) is one such effort in this direction. ACMA social media derive has attracted a large number of Alumni and it is hoped that various posts of ACMA would be filled through elections of the Alumni. The Directorate also arranges special dinners or gives out invitations for interaction with Alumni so that contact between them and the institution remains alive.

d) Advocacy and Image Building : Branding the university
The Directorate of Corporate Linkages represents the University at Forums, Exhibitions and Conferences. Recent examples are the Employment Expos of, Jang, Dawn, News etc, where a strong presence of the institution was apparent through well placed and equipped stalls. The Directorate has developed a rapport with HRDN and HR Forum.
