Al-Ahsa Guidance and Counseling Forum to enhance the intellectual awareness of female trainees
The Technical College for Girls in Al-Ahsa Governorate launched its Guidance and Counseling Forum, aimed at enhancing the intellectual and professional awareness of over 500 female trainees. This important event featured a comprehensive program of interactive workshops and specialized exhibitions that ran for three consecutive days, with active participation from prominent governmental and community organizations, most notably the King Abdulaziz Center for Cultural Communication, the Saudi Association for Public Decorum, and the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
The objectives of the Guidance and Counseling Forum in protecting intellectual and cyber security
The forum saw the participation of a select group of specialists in cybersecurity and information systems, who delivered intensive awareness content focusing on the concepts of "intellectual protection" and raising the level of digital literacy among the trainees. Participating organizations emphasized the importance of adhering to positive behaviors within the educational and social environment by delivering guidance messages through direct, interactive methods that go beyond traditional rote learning, thus contributing to fortifying young women's minds against various intellectual and digital risks.
Knowledge empowerment of Saudi women in light of Vision 2030
This event is being organized within the context of the comprehensive development drive underway in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to empower women and equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently and competently enter the workforce, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) plays a pivotal and historic role in preparing national female talent and providing them with the skills needed to confidently and effectively enter the labor market. Enhancing intellectual and professional awareness is no longer merely an educational option, but a fundamental pillar for building a vibrant society and a thriving economy, as these programs contribute to bridging the gap between training outcomes and the requirements of sustainable development.
