RIYADH — A group of inmates at Buraidah Prison has completed vocational diploma programs in marketing and sales under the first graduating cohort of an educational initiative launched through a community partnership between the General Directorate of Prisons and Qassim University.

The program aims to equip inmates with practical skills and professional competencies while providing them with accredited training certificates to improve their employment prospects after completing their sentences.

The initiative also seeks to reinforce the role of education in rehabilitation and correction by preparing inmates for successful reintegration into society.

The program is part of the partnership between the General Directorate of Prisons and Qassim University, supporting the Kingdom's rehabilitation objectives while expanding opportunities for inmates to build more stable futures after release.
