- Joint research — in the fields of continuing education and vocational training
Benefits for trainees
Lamar trainees will benefit from:
- Access to the university’s modern laboratories
- Exclusive lectures from university faculty
- Research and development opportunities with university research centers
- Added value to the certificate (noting the cooperation with the university)
Officials’ statements
“This partnership reflects both sides’ belief that bridging the gap between academia and the profession is the secret to graduating talent capable of competing in the labor market.”
— Dr. Mohammed Al-Zahrani, Vice President of Academic Affairs
The fruits of the agreement will begin to show with the upcoming academic semester in September 2026.
