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.
