AbstractThe year 1957 marked the start of a new era in human history with the launch of Sputnik, thus began the journey of Earth observation (EO). Then, in the early 1960s, with rapid developments in space technology and the race to reach the moon, scientific discussions veered toward the potential applications of EO in the fields of geography, agriculture, water resources, geology, and oceanography (NASA: Sputnik and the dawn of the space age, 2017; Haklay et al. in Earth observation open science and innovation, ISSI scientific report series 15, 2018).

Abstract This study aims to investigate the role of recruitment and qualification centers in achieving vocational qualification for Saudi women in the light of Saudi Vision 2030 and to identify the obstacles that limit the work of recruitment and qualification centers and suggested solutions are made for the development of these centers. Survey descriptive approach was utilized through designing 58-item questionnaire divided into five domains. The sample comprised (87) of the employees of recruitment and qualification centers in Riyadh. The results indicated that the most important roles of recruitment and qualification centers are the establishment of exhibitions that offer craft products prepared by Saudi women, investigating the vocational abilities and tendencies of Saudi women, and the sensitization of Saudi women to the job ethics and the importance of commitment to these ethics. The most important obstacles that limit the development of these centers are the low capacity for all applicants, the low spread of recruitment and qualification centers across the Kingdom. The study recommended the need to employ specialized cadres to increase the efficiency of recruitment and qualification centers, increasing the support for recruitment and qualification centers for Saudi women, and briefing Saudi women to the services provided by these centers.
