Descriptive Approach

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.

Royal Australasian College

Fifty-nine of the 70 Fellows of the Faculty of Anaesthetists who had passed the Final Examination in Intensive Care including that of October 1989, responded to a questionnaire on the pattern of their intensive care and anaesthetic practice and their perception of the training and examination. Responses came predominantly from Fellows who had passed the examination more than two years previously. Forty-eight (81%) were practising intensive care at least 50% of the time and 51% had become Director or Deputy Director of an Intensive Care Unit. However, 51% maintained some anaesthetic practice. Although individuals had changed the intensive care/anaesthetic distribution of their practice, the group overall had not. With one exception all Fellows were practising in public hospitals but 26% in private hospitals also. Only eight had sought intensive care as their first vocational qualification. Training and examination were generally regarded favourably except for training in research methods and experience in internal medicine. The results suggest that the intensive care specialist is not likely to leave such practice in the long term, but there has been a reluctance to abandon altogether training and some subsequent practice in anaesthetics.

The Status

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the status of recent Korean four-year college students’ acquisition of vocational qualification certificates (hereinafter “certificates” or “qualifications”), the factors that influence certificate acquisition, and the resulting employment and wage effects. Design/methodology/approach Regression analysis was conducted on the data from the Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey. Findings The results showed that females and medicine and education majors had higher rates of vocational qualifications, as did the students in provincial as compared to metropolitan areas and students with high grades. In terms of effects on labor market outcomes, vocational qualifications exert a moderate degree of positive influence on employment rate, wage at the time of initial employment, and current wage (i.e. there is a persistent wage effect). Originality/value This study will provide policy implications to decrease youth unemployment in Korea and worldwide as well as to build employment services supporting the acquisition of vocational qualifications across various disciplines.
