The aim of this study was to find out the relevance of the outputs of the project
management specialization in the Faculty of Applied Professions at Palestine Polytechnic
University to the requirements of the Palestinian labor market during the academic year 2018-
2019. The researchers used a seven-stage methodology according to the work segmentation
scheme shown in (Figure 1) including Initial internal evaluation, benchmarking with local and
foreign colleges and universities, specialized workshops with labor market, specialized
questionnaires, final review and amendment based on feedback from the previously mentioned
stages, and then the new plan was approved by the Palestinian Ministry of Higher Education and
Scientific Research and its implementation started.
The researchers designed three specialized questionnaires for internal experts, labor market, and
graduates of the project management specialization. The internal evaluation showed that
satisfaction regarding the specialization plan and courses is up to 67%. Moreover, a specialized
questionnaire was designed and distributed on 112 representatives of the labor market and then
collected and analyzed using the statistical analysis program (SPSS), The reliability and
consistency were high (Cronbach’s Alpha) with a score of 0.924.
Then, the proposed plans were discussed with experts from the labor market in order to finalize
them. A consultative council composed of experts from the university and the labor market was
formed to follow up the development and updating of the plan periodically, then the specialization
plan was finalized and approved by the faculty council. It was then approved by the Palestinian
Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research |
