​​​​​​​​​​​​​​OVERVIEW​ OF​​
Princess Albandari Bint AbdulRahman Alfaisal Higher Institute for Training (PACE_HIT) 

The establishment of providing the training programs through the Extension Programs Unit, coincided with the founding of the university (Effat College) in 1999 AD. At that time, the unit's services were limited to providing a number of professional certificates such as Cisco certificates for computer networking in coordination with Microsoft and some short-term training programs such as technology for women low-income families (Women in Technology) in coordination with the American Consulate. Agreements were also concluded with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to train some sons and daughters of low-income families, in addition to the developmental courses proposed by the unit for community institutions upon request. Our mastery in presenting these programs and courses has contributed to gaining the trust of individuals and various community institutions and establishing and even consolidating many relationships with national and international community institutions. As a result, the External Programs Unit received a number of requests for training and developmental programs, which required the administrative restructuring of the unit in 2007 to become the Institute for Executive Studies and Community Service. As a result, the training programs and community services provided by the Institute expanded, which included volunteer services, consultancy services, participation in national and international events and exhibitions, and hosting some of these community events and activities on campus.

With the launch of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which relied on three basic pillars: a vibrant society, a prosperous economy, and an ambitious nation, and its third goal focused on enabling social responsibility, the Ministry of Education in 2021 AD launched the initiative to institutionalize social responsibility in Saudi universities to activate the role of the third function of Saudi universities in serving society. And contribute to achieving this goal in a sustainable institutional manner. The leadership of Her Royal Highness Princess Al Bandari bint Abdul Rahman Al Faisal - may God have mercy on her - in community work was a source of inspiration from which Effat University derived the vision and mission of the university in restructuring the Executive Studies and Community Service Institute to become the center of Her Royal Highness Princess Al Bandari bint Abdul Rahman Al Faisal - may God have mercy on her - For community partnership in honor of its leadership of social responsibility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Her Royal Highness Princess Al-Bandari bint Abdul Rahman Al-Faisal - may God have mercy on her - Higher Institute for Training becomes the private training platform for the Center of Civic Engagement.
