Atnafas' Managing Director, Mr. Haitham A. Aziz stated "We at Atnafas are all excited to be working with AUBH, and to share our experience in the field with the new generation. Social Media is essential in everyone's life and due to it being relatively new, you can only find its essentials with experience, and it is our role as one of the leaders in the field to share this experience."
The partnership will further present AUBH Students with a holistic educational experience, which is in line with AUBH’s educational philosophy and approach to education. In doing so, AUBH graduates will be career-oriented individuals equipped with skills needed for today’s job market.
