Therefore, the Saudi government invests in human capital development for future economic growth. Saudi Vision 2030 focuses on continuous learning and training, and it provides a chance for people to improve their abilities and skills to contribute to society’s development. In line with Saudi Vision 2030, a fundamental principle of sustainable development is the empowerment RI ZRPHQ􀀑 $ ¿UVW VWHS IRU ZRPHQ¶V HPSRZHUPHQW LV WR XVH WHDFKLQJ methodologies that are most suitable for the majority of learners in the class and to have curricula that are designed to enable people to become more independent learners (Saudi Vision 2030, 2016) .  \nMoreover, according to Saudi Vision 2030, the female participation rate in the labour market will increase from 22% to 30% by 2030. Over 50% of Saudi women graduate from universities (Saudi Vision 2030, 2016). To reduce unemployment, these graduates need lifelong training, allowing them to develop a high-performance work team and to improve sustainable skills to build the country’s society and economy. Several research studies (Aldossari, 2020; Alfarran, Pyke, & Stanton, 2018; Calvert & Al-Shetaiwi, 2002) indicated that there is a lack of Saudi women’ participating in the workforce, especially in the private sector.  \n2QH RIWKH PRVW VLJQL¿FDQW FRXUVHV WKDW RIIHUV YDULRXV VNLOOV LV WKH /HDUQLQJ 1HLJKERXUKRRG 3URJUDPPH􀀑 7KHVH SUR¿FLHQFLHV LQFOXGH vocations, life, self-awareness, and reading and writing skills.
