In 2010, AIESEC’s Career Development Seminar’s  first edition  (CDS 2010)  was launched at Al  Yarmouk University  in Irbid, under the theme  “Youth, Community, and Business” and was successfully concluded with the  presence of 100 students from 5 different universities, and 11 corporate and non-corporate partners, the seminar focused on highlighting 3 approaches in-which young people can develop their career path; Youth Leadership, Entrepreneurial Outlook, and Social Responsibility & Voluntary Work.
 
In 2011, AIESEC decided to create a long-term impact out of the 2nd edition of the seminar, to reach out for more students beyond the ones  participating in the actual seminar, through creating  an output that could be used by any student, anywhere in Jordan.

Therefore, CDS 2011,  aimed to create the first youthful and simplified  career development strategy  that highlights the main mutual challenges young people in Jordan face in terms of starting their career, and proposing practical solutions and simple action steps that  enables those young people to overcome each challenge.
 
The seminar itself brought together  a staggering  number of delegates up to 220 students and 15 partners on a 3-day agenda, and was held under the patronage of HE. Prof. Sultan Abu Orabi, President of  Al Yarmouk University, making it one of the largest youth conventions in the country. 
  
The 3-day agenda covered a number of panel discussions, skill-building sessions, and workshops that tackled topics such as; Career Planning, Career Decision Making, Time Management, Entrepreneurship, Voluntary work, solution-oriented-leadership, CV writing, Job Interviews, and the reality of the talent market in Jordan.
