The part-time job opportunity at the NUM Career Center is exclusively open to 2nd or 3rd-year students willing to commit to the full 6-month program duration.
To apply for the program, complete an online application. Applications and essays can be written in either Mongolian or English. Successful applicants proceed to a one-on-one interview.
The selection process involves an initial review of written applications, followed by interviews with shortlisted candidates. Those who achieve the highest scores during this process will be nominated as program participants.
The program will run for 6 months. During the first 3 months, selected students will participate in skill-building activities. In the second half of the program, these students will continue their work at the Career Center, providing guidance and information to visiting students.
Selected students will have the chance to work at the NUM Career Center as part of the program. In a short amount of time, you'll acquire essential employment skills.
