Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Sameera Naji Khdim, Dean of the College of Science for Women, the Quality Assurance Division organized a workshop entitled “The Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).” The workshop was presented by Dr. Hisham Abdul-Manaf Atta, Head of the Quality Assurance Unit, and was attended by a number of Heads of Scientific Departments, faculty members, and College staff.
The workshop aimed to highlight the strategic importance of activating the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) as a pivotal link between educational outcomes and labor-market requirements. The presentation focused on mechanisms for aligning and continuously developing academic curricula to ensure that female graduates acquire the scientific and practical competencies required by contemporary companies and industrial institutions.
The participants also discussed ways to strengthen field-based and summer training programs for female students at partner institutions. In addition, the workshop reviewed international academic quality standards that contribute to enhancing the College’s academic standing and improving its performance in scientific rankings.
This workshop represents an important component of the College’s ongoing efforts to establish effective partnerships with production and employment sectors and to strengthen the role of advisory boards. Such initiatives contribute to updating the educational vision, aligning academic programs with labor-market needs, and advancing the College’s academic development.
