Dr. Doaa Mohi El-Din: Linking education to the labor market is the true path to building AI leaders

August 7, 2026

In an era where developments in artificial intelligence are accelerating at an unprecedented pace, universities are increasingly required to provide an educational model that goes beyond the boundaries of classrooms and establishes a learning environment that integrates academic knowledge with practical experience. From this perspective, Dr. Doaa Mohi El-Din, a faculty member at the Faculty of Computers and Information Systems at the Egyptian Chinese University, emphasizes that conferences and technology summits represent some of the most important tools for preparing students for the digital labor market.

Dr. Doaa Mohi El-Din pointed out that specialized events, such as the “Future Graduate Qualified for the Labor Market” initiative organized by the Faculty of Computers and Information Systems at the Egyptian Chinese University, reflect the modern direction of universities toward strengthening applied learning and providing students with opportunities for direct interaction with industry experts and technology leaders, thereby contributing to the development of a generation capable of keeping pace with the rapid transformations in the field of artificial intelligence.

She emphasized that organizing scientific sessions, panel discussions, and applied hackathons is no longer merely a student activity, but has become an essential part of the modern educational system. These events provide students with opportunities to acquire creative thinking, teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation skills, which have become among the most important requirements of the labor market.

She added that universities that invest in building genuine partnerships with industry and encourage their students to participate in competitions and technology summits are better positioned to graduate qualified professionals capable of competing locally, regionally, and internationally.

Dr. Doaa Mohi El-Din also stressed that student activities and student unions play a pivotal role in preparing young leaders by developing skills in organization, event management, communication, and teamwork, emphasizing that these practical experiences represent a valuable asset for students before graduation.

She concluded by emphasizing that the future of education in faculties of computing and artificial intelligence depends on the integration of academic knowledge, scientific research, practical application, and partnerships with industry institutions, thereby contributing to the preparation of graduates who possess the knowledge, skills, and ability to lead the future of digital transformation and innovation.
