Abstract EN

The late 20th century has witnessed a radical transformation in the philosophy, curricula, teaching methods, types of learning and its fields.

this development came in response to the challenges encountered education.

these challenges are represented in the tremendous knowledge explosion, development of education and training technology, the prominence of globalization phenomenon and economic blocs, what the human element possesses of values, knowledge, skills and experiences, and the digital transformation that lead to the change of jobs and works.

on these bases and out of being keen on elevating the students’ efficiency to be well-qualified for the labor market, the ministry of higher education has made it compulsory for all institutes to apply its unified courses specification.

among the main contents of the courses specification is the activation of students’ summer training as a scientific course whose result affects the students’ passing or failure.

in the early implementation, these educational institutions found that students find it difficult to join these institutions in order to undergo the training process.

this is due to the fact that these institutions are small economic units to accommodate a large number of students.

these institutions may also have labor surplus and attempted to resolve that problem by finalizing mutual cooperation protocols with the training and employment institutions through holding an employment forum.

the training process regularly proceeded in such a way till the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic that has affected all aspects of life worldwide.

among its effects were the full closure of schools and universities for more than six months, and prohibition of gatherings.

this had affected the educational process inputs and was negatively reflected on its outcomes quality.

therefore, there is a need to follow new ways and alternatives that preserve the training process continuity.

these institutions have found no shelter except the electronic training instead of the conventional training as a temporary solution.

the study aims to identify the effective relationship between summer training and the labor market needs pre and post covid-19 crisis through identification of electronic and conventional training, and the goals, justifications, benefits, requirements and planning of electronic training.

in addition, the identification of training institutions’ strategies to overcome the crisis, challenges which they encountered during the application of electronic training.

achieving its objectives, the study relied on quantitative approach through administering a questionnaire to a random sample of trained students affiliated to higher institutes of tourism and hotels.

the study found that although electronic training was the only shelter to overcome the crisis, it was inadequately effective due to the lack of time interaction between the trainer and trainees.

it could not also cover all types of training such as training at different hotels departments, restaurants, and fast food stalls.

the electronic training was only restricted for example to the private reservation program in hotels such as videolio program and Amadeus program at the tour and airline companies.

the study suggested a set of recommendations oriented to the training institutions that can give an opportunity for students training and adoption of new methods and policies to face crises.
