Students Can’t Balance between Voluntary Work, Assignments: SPP Official

The Students Partnership Program (SPP) qualifies  members to have relevant skills to be ready for life career, Resalah interviews Dr. Lana Al-Saeed, deputy director of (SPP).

The Students Partnership Program (SPP) urges students  to have what it takes to be initiative, and sharpens their skills to serve the KSU scientific purposes. It sparks sense of entrepreneurship into students and implants voluntary action into their minds. “Thus, students can go for life career fully armed with knowledge, experience, skills, etc and can fulfill labor market needs.”

Dr. Lana feels sorry that some students have no idea about the program as they do not browse the KSU portal. “Yet, other students know about it and have shown readiness and interest to join the program.”

Talking about how those students joined the program, Dr. Lana said they registered through the SPP website and were free to choose any of the nine work teams of the program. “The SPP contacted them and the process went on.”

Dr. Lana has negated the conception that the students have no skills and affirms that the students have the interests and readiness to play a key role if learn the relevant skills. She stresses that this is one of the SPP objectives to employ the desire they have. “It is enough to have the desire and aspiration to make a change as this is one of pre-requisites for a successful man.”

Dr. Lana praises students as they are up to the responsibility and have team work spirit and skills of planning and organization. However, she admitted that some students cannot strike a balance between their assignments and the voluntary work as most of others.

She enumerated the accomplishments the SPP has already done since the program was initiated. “The SPP inked nine agreements with a number of deanships to teach ICDL, International License for Entrepreneurship(ILFE), etc and  took the initiative to target students of Preparatory Year.”

She shows the SPP is expanding as it   is  building three chapters in the current three girl campuses and it cares about assessing its performance. “The SPP writes up progress reports periodically to judge the program performance.”
