Amman- 12 August 2018
German & English for Business Communication (GEBC) students from the School of Applied Humanities and Languages (SAHL) visited Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Business and Culture Radio Station (TAGBC.FM) headquarters in Amman on Thursday August 2nd, 2018.
The main objective of this visit was to inquire whether GEBC as a major serves the market at the business, cultural and educational communication levels, and how it ensures that its graduates find jobs as soon as they graduate from SAHL, GJU.
A proactive member in society, Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAG-Org) has established TAGBC.FM to cater to society’s best interest by tackling public and local issues, which in turn aid in boosting the local economy. Moreover, the radio station aims to spread social, educational, and economic awareness. TAGBC.FM broadcasts economic and educational programs, in addition to classical music in Amman and Ma’an governorate. Furthermore, the station will broadcast around the clock in four languages: standard Arabic, French, Chinese, and Italian.
Upon arriving at the station, GEBC students were given an overview about the station and the local initiatives the organization has accomplished so far. Thereafter, the students were shown how programs are prerecorded and how live on air works. In addition, they got the chance to live an off air experience in which they were interviewed by Mr. Ali Karjawally, Manager of TAG-BC.FM.
The students talked with Mr. Karjawally about their plans for the future, why they chose their major and where they see themselves after they graduate. More importantly, they asked about how they can ensure internship opportunities during their studies or after they graduate.
The visit encouraged the students to consider the media industry in their future career path and enabled them to get a closer look into how a Radio station operates. GEBC students thanked Mr. Karjawally for his informative presentation and off-air interviews. Hence, the students left with a positive impression about the Radio Station and Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization.
