Top Graduates and Accelerating Their Employment

The Ministry of Higher Education annually sends large numbers of high school graduates to various countries to obtain bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Each year, a considerable number of these students graduate with high honors, sometimes even completing their studies in less time than the permitted duration.

Subsequently, requests arise for degree equivalency and for employment in both the public and private sectors, alongside other requirements imposed by the entities that hire these graduates.

There is a question regarding who designed the scholarship plan, given that each government agency requests a specific number of graduates, hoping to provide them with jobs after four years. These graduates should not have to wait in line, as they are already in demand by these government entities.

Furthermore, graduates with high honors should be employed immediately to leverage their academic capabilities. Therefore, the period between graduation and employment must be carefully studied, using schedules and timelines. The necessary steps to absorb this group of graduates and prevent the state from incurring the high costs of their unemployment should be clearly outlined.

The wasted hours must be accounted for and converted into costs, and hiring procedures should be streamlined by linking government agencies through electronic systems that facilitate the easy and efficient fulfillment of hiring requirements.
