This is the college’s fourth batch of students to have graduated with various business degrees since the CBA’s establishment in 2000.

“Eighty-five percent of our students get job offers while still at college and before they’ve graduated. The remaining try to complete their education, join the private sector or open their own businesses,” said Abdullah Dahlan, chairman of the CBA’s board of trustees.

“I would also like to thank parents for bringing their children every day to the college. It’s a long trip and we share their concerns,” he added.

The college’s graduation ceremony was held at the Jeddah Hilton and attended by over 600 people, including university administrators, academics and businesspeople.

“I pledge to today’s CBA graduates seeking jobs that the college will help them find jobs; those who can’t find jobs will be given the chance to continue their education abroad,” he added.

Dahlan also said that college is embarking on starting its master’s program in Business Administration in six majors: Marketing, information systems, finance, accounting, human resources management and management support services.

The college’s dean, Hussein Alawi, said: “The college prepares Saudi students to meet the needs of the country’s labor market. We have close to 2,000 male and female students.”
