Abstract

In Saudi Arabia, unemployment problem has been a big problem. Higher education in Saudi Arabia has previously been chastised for failing to meet labor market requirements. Higher education graduates, according to research, have focused on disciplines that are not in high demand in the work market. Furthermore, students of institutions of higher learning have been shown to lack the broad competences required in today's competitive market. The purpose of this chapter is to show how Saudi Arabia's higher education institutions are closing the gap between higher education and the labor market. Despite the fact that the private higher education sector in the United States is still relatively new, the data shows that higher education institutions have already been attempting to address graduate employability issues through their courses, extra curricular, and career-related services. Topics taught, instructional approaches used, and the usage of English in the classroom are all examples, as are planned project experience and career counsellor services.
