Why a fresh graduate refused a job

  • Why a fresh graduate refused a job

Ala Abu Ayesh is 23 years old. He has been a Work Based Learning (WBL) trainee in PTC Al Aroub, where he studied Computer sciences. The total duration of his training was 7 months, out of which he spent 4 months as a trainee in a private company.  

In the private company he learned how to repair smart devices like smartphones and laptops and how to install computer software as well as security camera systems. His everyday tasks included installing operating systems and building computer networks, repairing hardware defects in computers and smart phones and installing camera systems at private homes and in companies. In short, he was very happy with the variety of tasks that was given to him during his internship.  

“Thanks to the training period in the private company, I learned how to repair laptops and smartphones. It also thought me some practical aspects like the knowledge of where to buy spare parts for all kinds of electrical devices.”  

His internship went so well that the company where he was trained during the WBL course proposed him a job at the end of his training which he refused. He preferred to open his own company in his hometown, north of Hebron, right after graduation. His company is still in the start-up phase, so for now he works from home, but he is hoping to rent an office space in the near future to make his company more professional. Once it is big enough, he would be willing to train WBL trainees in his own company, as his own internship made him realize the importance of training young people inside a private company.
