Then, the Dean announced the start of the workshop’s proceedings, emphasizing in his speech the institute’s keenness to follow up on and develop educational curricula and training programs in a way that aligns with the labor market’s requirements. He noted that:
This workshop represents an effective institutional step toward strengthening communication channels with employers and identifying market needs while working to align the outputs of education with those needs to achieve quality of performance and efficiency of outcomes.
He further confirmed that the goal of the workshop is to inform employers about educational curricula and take their opinions and valuable suggestions for developing them, as well as to review their perspectives on establishing specializations that are needed and in demand in the market.
The workshop concluded with a tour for the employers across the scientific departments to view the laboratories and laboratory equipment, during which they also held meetings with the department staff to discuss the educational and training curricula provided to students and to receive employers’ feedback on their quality and how they can be improved.
The workshop resulted in a set of important recommendations that support the achievement of its goals.
