RIYADH — Over 38,000 Saudis have enrolled in 365 training programs in the Saudi e-training platform during the ten day period ending March 26, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said Tuesday. The director for the development of training programs at the Human Resources Development Fund (HADAF) and supervisor of Doroob, Mohammed Al-Shuwaier, said the training programs have been designed to promote distance learning and provide needed experience in all fields and specializations required by the labor market, in line with the governmental precautionary and preventive measures to fight the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Al-Shuwaier noted that the quality of the programs have contributed to increasing the number of those enrolled, with more than 3,500 people benefiting from the interactive training sessions broadcast last week on Doroob. Doroob was launched by HADAF as part of the training and qualification programs aimed at developing the skills of students, job seekers and those wishing to be promoted in their jobs, to increase participation in the private sector and help job seekers find suitable opportunities. Al-Shuwaier said the quality of training programs being provided via Doroob has contributed to increasing the number of applicants wishing to enroll in the training courses. To register for the e-training courses, interested people can log on to doroob.sa.
