AUK Library Hosts students from Dasman Bilingual School for a Voluntary Work Experience

AUK and Dasman Bilingual School have created a volunteering program in an effort to further develop collaborations between the two institutions. Students were stationed at the AUK Library to fulfil the requirements of the ASDAN program-a personal development program which intends to provide students with real work experience in order to develop skills for learning, work, and everyday life. The first group of students were received in 2014, marking the beginning of a long-term partnership between the Vocational Department at Dasman Bilingual School and the AUK Library.

This month, students have successfully completed the program where they were each assigned a unique role with specific tasks within the library, ranging from book and materials shelving to answering questions and assisting users with printing and copying. Through these roles, the students developed their communication and organizational skills.

The students exhibited strong work ethics, diligence, and focus in their assigned tasks. In recognition of their efforts, they have been awarded certificates of appreciation by the AUK Library, which has also extended its gratitude to the school for always considering AUK as their primary choice for such beneficial programs.
