In the heart of Abu Dhabi, where ambition meets opportunity, something remarkable is unfolding. On Saturday, May 31, 2025, LUBM invites you to the ‘The Training Hub: Build & Connect’. We’re hosting it as an opportunity for alumni, students and future students to build networks with rising industry professionals. It will be held at the Novotel Abu Dhabi Gate from 6 pm to 9 pm. The Training Hub is a free event designed to transform how professionals think about learning, networking, and growth. This time, the event will feature two experts who will help foster professional bonds. We’re excited for attendees to meet Dr. Kenny Chong, who brings decades of experience to the table.
A History of Connection
Reflecting on our previous alumni meet, the energy was palpable. With 90 to 100 attendees, the room buzzed with conversations, laughter, and shared experiences. Our expert speaker, Mr Yasser, captivated the audience. He led activities that not only engaged but also fostered meaningful connections. The aftermath was evident on LinkedIn, where attendees tagged each other, sharing moments and insights. It was a moment of pride for LSM, our associate company that hosts seminars, webinars and events. However, it wasn’t just an event; it was a community coming alive in front of us, through the strong bonds and connections forged for years to come. Consequently, it strongly motivated us to continue building and supporting this budding network of working professionals.
Alumni networks play a crucial role in helping graduates navigate their professional journeys. They open doors to job opportunities, industry insights, and collaborative ventures. We have experienced firsthand the numerous benefits attendees attain from participating in such networking events. Graduates and students have gained knowledge, industry tips and even jobs through it.
