Mission

Empowering professionals and organizations across the MENA region through accessible, innovative training programs, globally recognized certifications, and personalized career coaching. We drive meaningful impact by fostering strategic partnerships, promoting community engagement, and inspiring a culture of continuous learning. Our executive programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of industries and professionals, ensuring they thrive in evolving markets.

Executive Education at Al Yamamah University (YU) was established in 2018 as one of the first professional training branches within higher education in Riyadh. Since then, it has expanded to Khobar, offering both in-person and remote training opportunities across multiple industries.

Since its founding in 2001, Al Yamamah University has been driven by a bold vision: to become the top talent source for public and private institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Executive Education is crucial to this mission, delivering training programs that reflect YU's signature project-based and practical approach. We collaborate with organizations to identify their needs and then partner with renowned local and international instructors to develop tailored training solutions. Our work supports key pillars of Vision 2030, including innovation, leadership development, moderation, and aligning training outputs with labor market needs. Additionally, we incorporate the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our programs, ensuring that our impact extends beyond the Kingdom, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
