STRATEGIC AREAS

Our education programs are tailored to empower and support local youth and teachers. Programs include the Young Learners Development Program and the Thuwal Teachers Development Program, which focus on a holistic combination of academic, technical and soft skills development.

Our prosperity programs provide women and men with skills to enhance their value in the workplace, and create opportunities for personal and professional development, financial stability, and lifelong well-being. Goals of our prosperity programs focus on building capabilities and increasing economic independence and financial stability for local professionals.

Sustainable development has been an integral element of KAUST since its inception, and our environment awareness projects advance this value. We promote environmental awareness through education and action programs, both via schools and community associations.

Our community program is committed to enable the integration of the KAUST and Thuwal communities through development and engagement programs. It also addresses key needs-based areas that have been identified by our partners in Thuwal.
