Saudi Arabia has announced a new plan to create more than 340,000 jobs for Saudi citizens in the private sector over the next three years. This will be done under the second phase of the Nitaqat AlMutawar program, which is designed to increase the number of Saudis working in private companies.
The main goal of this initiative is to reduce reliance on foreign workers and encourage businesses to hire more local talent. Officials explained that the program is not only about creating new jobs, but also about improving the quality of those jobs. This includes offering better job stability, higher productivity, and more long-term career opportunities for Saudi nationals.
Authorities also shared that the first phase of the program performed better than expected. It successfully demonstrated that Saudi citizens have strong skills and capabilities across many industries. This success has helped support sustainable economic growth and increased confidence in the local workforce.
