- The program aims to help Saudi nationals acquire the expertise and skills required for the labor market through practical training in the workplace in line with their field of study
RIYADH: The Human Resources Development Fund confirmed that over 70,000 male and female graduates with a diploma, a bachelor’s degree, or higher have benefited from the on-the-job training program Tamheer since its launch in 2017.
Tamheer witnessed increased demand in 2021 and 2022, as the percentage of trainees during those years constituted about 66 percent of the total enrollment since the launch of the program.
The program aims to help Saudi nationals acquire the expertise and skills required for the labor market through practical training in the workplace in line with their field of study.
It helps raise their employability and stimulates the private sector to attract trained nationals once they have completed their training.
Tamheer provides a monthly financial stipend of SR2,000 ($533) for graduate diploma holders from technical, health and administrative institutes and colleges and SR3,000 for people with a bachelor’s degree and above.
It also bears the insurance costs for trainees when they are in the work environment for the hands-on part of the program.
The training period ranges from three to six months.
Trainees receive a certificate upon successful completion of the program.
To qualify for the program, applicants need to be higher education graduates and have been unemployed for at least six months.
Hadaf has renewed its invitation to establishments to offer training opportunities through the Taqat national labor portal via the link http://taqat.sa/.
