Maties Connect

Integrate yourself in the Maties community by downloading the accessible and user-friendly Maties Connect App on Google Play Store or Apple Store. This secure networking and marketing tool empowers you by expanding your social network. After creating an account, you can display your entrepreneurial and interpersonal skills with the app’s multiple functions. You can reconnect with fellow graduates, promote your business in the Business Directory, job hunt, post new positions online and become a mentee or mentor to fellow alumni.

Career Opportunities
What’s a better place to find bright individuals who are desperately seeking opportunities than your alma mater? The advantage of turning to your alma mater first is that you have first-hand experience of what exactly the programmes offer and what exactly the students are being taught. You will have a good reference of the types of skills that these students will have. Therefore, turning to SU for recruitment of the best and brightest students is a great way to give back and may be a safer hiring decision.

We love to keep up with your careers and life changes, but we also want you to be successful. Our doors are always open to our alumni. Here are a few ways you can utilise your connection with us:


Personal Recommendations and Endorsements
Whether for your LinkedIn page, your CV, or other applications, your SU lecturers and administrators are fantastic resources when it comes to references.

Networking and Relationship Building
Getting involved in alumni events opens opportunities with fellow alumni and SU community members who can help you build your career.

Career Advice and Coaching
University counselling doesn’t have to discontinue once you have graduated. If you are thinking of making a change or advancing in your career, contacting our alumni staff, teachers, and administration is a great way to get sound advice.

Referrals
The SU community continues to grow, and with that growth comes valuable connections within the community and beyond. If you need a referral for businesses or services, our business directory is a great place to start!

Joining our events in Matieland to talk to our students or otherwise sharing your experience and knowledge is a great way to build your resume as a public speaker and expert in your field.
