A Proposal for Overcoming the Challenges Facing the Graduates of Social Work in Princess Noura University on the Labor Market in the Light of Saudi Vision 2030

Abstract

The present research paper aims to make a proposal for overcoming the challenges facing the  graduates of social work in Princess Noura University on the labor market in the light of Saudi Vision 2030. It identifies the challenges facing the graduates of social work on the labor market in the light of Saudi Vision 2030. The author adopted the analytical descriptive approach and applied a questionnaire to a sample of (535) graduates of the College of Social Work, Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University. The results showed that several challenges face the graduates of social work when joining the labor market in the light of Saudi Vision 2030, such as the increasing number of graduates and the lack of a real labor market. The suggestions to overcome these challenges include activating the Graduate Follow-up Unit at the College of Social Work and concluding agreements with various labor market institutions. Accordingly, the study develops its proposal. The study made a set of recommendations. For instance, the Colleges of Social Work should transfer the modern trends of work in social work fields not to impose the private sector to modify, refine, and develop the skills of the graduates.
