Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development Launches Forum to Empower Social Services Beneficiaries

On Wednesday, July 3, 2024 (27 Dhu al-Hijjah 1445 AH), the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development launched the Eastern Region Empowerment Forum. The event was attended by His Excellency Dr. Hamad Al-Hammad, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry for Policies and Legislation, and Mr. Muhammad Al-Sammari, Director of the Ministry's branch in the Eastern Region. 
The forum aims to empower social services beneficiaries who are capable of working by providing them with tools to become self-reliant and align with labor market requirements. This initiative is in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and the goals of the National Transformation Program.

Dr. Hamad Al-Hammad highlighted the forum's key activities, including the provision of over 1,800 job opportunities and various financing options. These opportunities are offered through 30 partner entities from the public, private, and non-profit sectors to more than 4,000 registered social security beneficiaries. The forum seeks to raise awareness, promote a work culture, and motivate beneficiaries to pursue empowerment opportunities that match their abilities and skills.

The forum features more than 18 training courses covering personal interview skills, vocational guidance, job preference determination, and workshops on self-employment, product pricing, and introducing key partners in entrepreneurship and productive projects.
