It aims to enhance the quality of education, thereby reflecting positively on workforce quality, increasing employment rates, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, boosting productivity, and enhancing the ability to utilize advanced technologies and products. The Deanship’s participation in the initiative for the third consecutive year aligns with the objectives of Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University’s Strategic Plan 2025 and the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in aligning educational outputs with labor market needs in terms of knowledge, skills, and values.
