2023 Link Project overview from the Sudanese Researchers Foundation

Objective:

The goal of the Link project is to bridge the gap between the skills of recent graduates in the fields of Economics and Management Studies and the skills required in the job market. This is achieved through training and equipping graduates with the necessary skills for the workforce.

To ensure that the program aligns with both the graduates and the job market needs, a survey was conducted. Graduates were asked about the skills they felt they needed, and employers were asked about the skills they required in their field. The results of the survey were analyzed, and based on the findings, various workshops were designed for the project.
