The Saudi Embassy's Cultural Attaché in the US has announced an employment program for recently-graduated Saudi scholarship students in order to help them find suitable positions of employment upon graduation. Cultural Attaché Muhammad Al-Eisam said the program would run in tandem with universities to maximize the potential of male and female Saudi graduates. According to Khalid Al-Anqari, Minister of Higher Education, the program will begin on this year's Career Day at the end of the academic year, with invitations sent out to over 200 American universities to attend the graduation ceremony of the second year of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Scholarship Program in the state of Virginia, held over July 3 and 4, in order for graduates to meet with university representatives. The ceremonies will host several prominent American personalities, and display an exhibition of Saudi students' work and offer diverse cultural activities staged by Saudi clubs. The ceremony will coincide with the launch of the scholarship students' magazine and digital library by Al-Anqari, which will contain masters and doctorate theses by Saudi scholarship students in the US. Al-Anqari will also lay the foundation stone for the Saudi cultural attaché's new building which is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. According to Muhammad Al-Mas'oudi, Director of the Information Center at the Cultural Attaché's Office, a number of satellite channels and newspaper correspondents have been invited to cover the function, and a webpage set up for the ceremony on the cultural attaché's website at HYPERLINK “http://www.sacm.org/ArabicSACM/Graduation.aspx” www.sacm.org/ArabicSACM/Graduation.aspx
