The idea was to connect the students and the private sectors before graduation through a designed curriculum that serves the following objectives :
enhancement
The ability to work in a team, the ability to collaborate with the team, leadership skills, adaptability, communication skills, interpersonal skills.
Prepare the students for what is coming after graduation regarding the market needs.
Supply and Demand
The program was designed to fill the gap between the private sectors demand and the UN supply of graduate students, this way the student will graduate knowing that he has the needed skills for real life situation.
The program provided the proper environment for the students to be entrepreneurs by fueling their ambition and developing their business skills.
Students must have the chance to be creative and develop their own ideas, and the program supported that all the way.
