Providing support for recruitment and training for Saudization of the private sector

This section focuses on the support provided to job seekers in the private sector. These range from financial assistance, contributing to the costs of upskilling and training, offering subsidies to employees and employers, and formulating programmes to support Saudization.

The employment support channels like National Labour Gateway Taqat and all touchpoints of HRDF offer a number of different services which include and not limited to job search assistance, job referral, placement assistance for job seekers, and recruitment services to employers with job openings.

HRDF provides a number of programmes to serve job seekers, employees, and employers in the private sector. We are also committed to empowering women and focus on creating opportunities for women.

HRDF’s employment support programmes like Qurrah The working women childcare programme and Wusool The working women transportation programme, facilitate women who are in the workforce and who are ready to enter the workforce.

HRDF also has a number of enabling programmes aimed at diverse groups of people like persons with disabilities and those suffering from kidney disease. The following section is an extensive discussion about the myriad programmes and services offered by HRDF and how they performed during 2019.
