Construction Products Holding Company (CPC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Effat University for Girls in Jeddah, to provide practical training for its students in various fields of the company's operations. The program, developed by the Business Development Department of CPC, under the supervision of Dr. Faysal Alaquil, director of Business Development and Administrative Affairs, aims to introduce the students to the management and operations of CPC's core businesses and subsidiaries, and give them a glimpse of what awaits them in the corporate world once they graduate. The MOU was signed between Alaquil on behalf of CPC, and on behalf of Effat University, Dr. Haifa Jamal Al Lail, president of the university. Alaquil underscored the importance of providing students the opportunity to apply what they've learned in the university to actual situations in the corporate world: “This cooperation is meant to enhance the learning experience of the students, and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge from experts in the industry. This agreement is just the beginning of more similar partnerships to be formed with other distinguished universities in the Kingdom.” He pointed out that the training program focused on manufacturing building materials provided by CPC for Saudi universities is part of the company's corporate social responsibility initiatives. “We want to be able to contribute something back to the community where we do business, which is a fundamental pillar of our work strategy and corporate philosophy.” Speaking on behalf of Effat University, Al Lail expressed her thanks and appreciation to CPC for providing this training program to Saudi universities, further improving the high quality of education available to our students. “We are pleased that Effat University is the first Saudi university to benefit from this program, which will provide a good opportunity for our students to benefit from the practical training that will, for sure, enrich their experience and qualify them to work in different market sectors.”
