Business Instructor at the International Technical Female College at Buraydah, Saudi Arabia (from November 2018 till June 2019):

I taught several courses in Entrepreneurship where I endeavored to prepare the students to be entrepreneurs to open their own businesses in the future.

I helped them to realize the attributes of good employees.

I clarified the importance of being good employees and hiring qualified employees.

I made them aware of the attributes of successful entrepreneurs.

I had them take a test to get scores on the extent they could be successful entrepreneurs, and to share the scores among each other to be able to choose their business partners.

I encouraged them to come up with innovative business ideas where they are interested.

I motivated them to make a small business plan – including their business’s vision and mission – identifying their target market and potential customers.

I encouraged them to interact with their direct environment and to identify their competition.

I guided them to be involved in the development of their products.

I motivated them to present the prototypes and samples of their products in a competitive environment, i.e. market their products in a competitive class setting, and try to gain supports and backers to their businesses.

They did the whole process creatively. The representative of the College of Excellence was pleased with their work.
