King Khalid University continues with its community outreach initiatives in conducting a host of training programs in Tehama. The programs, delivered by faculty members, included a variety of workshops and courses for the public. Nearly 700 people participated in the events.

General Supervisor of the Tehama Campus, Dr. Ahmed Al-Shehri, explained that the workshops and training courses offered are part of the Goodwill Initiative, which was launched by Governor of Asir, His Royal Highness Prince Turki bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud.

Matching human capital to economic development is a fundamental requirement of Vision 2030.
