The study is to know the extent of the focus on disciplines as far as the theoretical and scientific aspects of training programs are concerned. It measures the impression of graduates regarding the education and training programs, and the level and the capabilities of trainers and training bodies.The study concluded that there is a mismatch between the needs of the Saudi labor market and the skills of training and of education institutions in relation to graduates.

This will be in line with the requirements of the private sector and for the development of educational curricula and policies
