PRIVATE SECTOR CONTRIBUTION TO UNIVERSITY STUDENT SUMMER TRAINING A CASE STUDY AT AL-BAHA UNIVERSITY

Summer training allows students to develop their abilities and skills in field experience, deepen their understanding of specialization, and discover their practical talents. It also helps identify the learning outcomes of the College of Engineering by discussing and evaluating the trainees after completing the summer training period. This evaluation helps determine the extent of benefit derived from the training and enables the creation of development plans. This research aims to study the private sector's contribution to university students' summer training. The faculty of engineering at Al-Baha University is taken as a case study. Based on the data collected and analysis carried out, it was found that only 26% is the contribution of the private sector in the university summer training. This percentage is modest as a contribution to academic society. Moreover, it was found that most of the students do the summer training in their locality and the number of students who take training is growing.
