The amount of people in Arab Nations holding a B.Sc., B.A., Diploma, M.Sc., and Ph.D. is huge (1), most of which include a project/research applying or explaining the theoretical part of the thesis. Unfortunately most of them do not reflect a real problem or contribute in solving an existing problem. Therefore you can detect hundreds of thousands of thesis and research works being kept on the shelf unutilized.
On the other hand a huge number of organizations with different categories such as manufacturing, service, education, health care, nonprofit, etc.; have severe problems needing to be solved. In addition to another big problems that are facing our Arabic Communities such as unemployment.
Due to the absence of central planning, an accumulation of the above mentioned issues has caused a severe gap between the actual community requirements and the academic and research work. Each of community and academia are now isolated in a separate island. This isolation has caused another problem that is the gap between academic curriculums and needs of labor market. The new problem causes inadequacy of most graduates to labor market needs, and thus enroll them into the convoy of unemployment.
