The university, represented by the Leadership and Capabilities Development Center, announced the launch of several remote e-training programs for university staff, as part of an initiative by the center titled “Develop Your Skills.” Through this initiative, the center offers several training courses. These training programs are carefully selected through interaction between trainers and participants during sessions to suit everyone's interests and specializations.
E-learning training programs are considered a good alternative to traditional training, especially in light of the precautionary measures against the Coronavirus. Trainees have a variety of options to suit their preferences, with the possibility of obtaining accredited courses.
Registration for these programs will be available upon announcement of their commencement, via the Leadership and Capabilities Development Center website. A minimum of 15 trainees are required for the course to be held, with a maximum of 70 trainees. Registration is open to employees only. Trainees are limited to registering for a maximum of two training programs during the summer period. The training courses will be conducted online via Blackboard Collaborate, Zoom, or other systems accredited by the university. The courses are available to faculty and staff of both genders, and may be combined depending on the number of registrants. Trainees who are accepted will be provided with the course link or access method after registration is complete and approved for each program.
For his part, Dr. Muneaa Al-Muneaa, General Supervisor of the Center for Leadership and Capacity Development, explained that the center aims to spread the culture of remote e-training to a larger number of interested individuals without the need for their physical presence at the training headquarters of the center, as well as to employ modern technologies to complete the training process. This process targets faculty members, male and female staff. He pointed out that trainees will be granted a (certified) certificate from the center for the course topic. The courses will be broadcast during the summer period on the dates displayed on the center's website, from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM.
Al-Mani“ explained that the center has established specific guidelines that trainees must adhere to in order to receive a certificate of course attendance. Trainees must arrive ten minutes before the workshop begins, and that attendance for the training program must not be less than 90% of the total program hours. He noted that attendance and departure will be monitored, and trainees who do not comply with the program hours will be excluded by adjusting the settings of the virtual session designated for each program. The course will also be conducted in a way that facilitates interaction between the trainer and trainees via audio and video as needed, as well as screen sharing.
Al-Mane“ added that the center has the right to implement appropriate measures to enforce its training policies through pre- and post-assessments for each training program and to document attendance during the training program. This also includes the commitment to undertake any costs or tasks requested from the male or female trainee during or after the course as a prerequisite for passing the training program. He emphasized that the trainee will receive a certificate of attendance accredited by the Leadership and Capabilities Development Center after attending the program and interacting with it as required, according to the curriculum for each program.
