National Geographic Learning, in partnership with Talemia, will provide content for eight Career Pathway courses: Business Decisions, Introduction to Business, Business Finance, Principles of Management, Marketing, Event Management, Health Science Principles and Health Care.
“Pathway courses enhance a student’s skills, values and conduct and make each learner capable of benefiting Saudi society and the world,” said Dr. Mansour Bin Salamah, CEO of Talemia.
