HR Programs and Staff Development

The AUC is building an organization that supports every person in their own professional journey. The AUC competencies framework is an internal enterprise, developed to enable and support employee's growth aspirations.

The Office of Human Resources is adopting the latest technologies in learning and development by providing advanced solutions to facilitate the growth and development process of AUC’s workforce.

To assure all AUC employees are engaged, stretched and challenged to learn and grow purposefully; making a difference while taking ownership of their professional journey, AUC conducts an annual performance management system for all levels across the University.

The purpose of this award is to recognize and celebrate the outstanding contributions of our staff to the University.

It is an annual award given to four staff members as a recognition for their lifelong service to AUC. Winners receive the award from the University for two Pilgrimage and two Jerusalem visits. Members are chosen according to the terms and conditions applied.

Given the continuing efforts of the Office of Human Resources to focus on staff talent development and career progression, we give our staff members the opportunity for a one-week exchange at one of Europe’s associated universities.

The onboarding program will begin from the moment you are offered a job to work with us and will continue along the way. The Office of Human Resources is your strategic partner to help you seamlessly enter your new role, and will also be on your side in your growth and development journey.

The Employee Emergency Relief Fund provides support for employees of the University who are confronted with a significant, unforeseen financial emergency. The fund is supported through the contributions of members of the AUC community.

Established in 1981, the Presidential Associates Program at The American University in Cairo (AUC) provides recent university graduates who are American citizens or permanent residents the opportunity to work at the highest levels of an international university, learn Arabic and experience life in Cairo.
