Art: Choosing the right Program
While some students are interested in computer science, Business administration, or even literature, others might be attracted by everything that asks for creativity, and self-expression which is in one word “ART”. So, as a parent, if your child is more into art than the other field, we recommend as University orientors that you encourage him to follow his dream. Because we want to help you guide your offspring in his choice, here is the link to a presentation on “how to choose the right program when applying for Art school?” 👉 Applying to Art School
Want to major in architecture ?
As University Counselors, a lot of students come to us saying they want to study architecture, But they don’t know why they are interested in this field specifically. Therefore, for those who are planning to choose architecture as their major, we recommend having a look in the slide below to be sure whether or not this field is really for you. 👉 Want to Study Architecture?
Extracurricular activities to do during vacations
We know that as students when we are on holiday, the things we think the most about are resting, going out with friends, sleeping and more. All these are good for your health but if you want Universities to be attracted to your school profile when you will be applying for your bachelor's, you need to do some lucrative activities like internships, creating a volunteering community, and more. By following the link below, you will see some more activities to be done this summer. 👉 Summer Plan

Recommendation Letter
Most International Universities in order to be sure that students who are applying to their Universities are good examples of students, sometimes ask for recommendation letters from students. That’s the reason why we put the link below for you to check how to do a recommendation letter, to whom you should ask, at which moment you should ask for it, and also the link of the recommendation letter form to be filled when needed.

Important platforms to register as students
As students, we recommend you go to some platforms that will give you more chances to have an admission to International Universities. Talking about platforms, below are two of them you should know about.
Vision Board
Having a vision is one of the most important keys to success. All of us have dreams and plans for achieving those dreams. In order to follow up those plans, you need to have something on which to write it, whether it is in a personal journal, a computer or even a vision board, YOU NEED TO WRITE!!!!!!!. And because we care about you, we did a little research on how to do a vision board. Just follow the link below 👉 Vision Board
Profession Development For our Faculty by African Leadership University
As the University Orientation department, orienting students toward their future career is good, but teaching professors how to help students make better choices is even better. That’s the reason why we gave training to Enko’s teachers on how to teach students correctly.
Harvard Program
Because learning is not done only in school, we planned a program called Harvard program for students to learn. In this program, some students from Harvard came from the United States to teach our students about Entrepreneurship. We know that they learned a lot with this program, and we love that!!!!!
