HADAF spent SR351mn for training and employment programs in January
The Saudi Gazette Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 02 - 2021

RIYADH — The Human Resources Development Fund (HADAF) stated that the total amount of money spent on programs and initiatives to support training, employment, and empowerment of Saudis amounted to SR351 million in January 2021. This exceeded for the third time in a row the amounts of support spent on the job-search aid program Hafiz, which amounted to SR218 million for the same period.
HADAF said in a statement that the increase in the amount of support disbursed comes as a result of developing and improving the support and empowerment programs provided by the Fund, in addition to the increase in the number of beneficiaries of the employment, training, and empowerment support programs provided to citizens and private sector establishments alike.
There are two Hafiz programs to support Saudi job seekers and they are Hafiz Searching for Employment Program and Hafiz Difficulty Finding Employment Program. HADAF provides rehabilitation, training, and employment support programs for the beneficiaries of the two programs, as well as incentive to find work, in order to develop their skills and abilities. This program empowers the beneficiaries of Hafiz and helps them join the labor market.
The fund started implementing early last year a new strategy that is based on strengthening partnership with the private sector as well as to develop and improve support programs and initiatives that are aimed to localize job opportunities in enterprises.
HADAF offers initiatives and programs to support training, employment, and empowerment of male and female citizens, and support enterprises in all activities and sectors. These include the Employment Support Program, the On-the-Job Training Program (Tamheer), the Targeted Transportation Support Program, the Professional Certificates Support Program, the Working Women's Transport Support Program (Wusool), the Strategic Partnerships Institutes Support Program, and the National E-Training Platform (Doroob).
HADAF affirmed its keenness to support the training, employment, and empowerment of young Saudi men and women professionals in various professions and activities required by the labor market so as to achieve the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
