Saudization Services: Bridging the Employment Gap in Saudi Arabia
Saudization, also known as Nitaqat, refers to the Saudi Arabian government’s initiative to increase employment opportunities for its citizens. With a focus on reducing the country’s dependence on foreign labor and boosting the local workforce, Saudization aims to create a sustainable and diverse job market. The program encourages companies to hire and train Saudi nationals, offering various incentives and penalties for compliance and non-compliance, respectively. Saudization not only aims to reduce unemployment rates but also empowers Saudi citizens with job security and growth opportunities. By prioritizing the employment of locals, Saudization promotes economic stability and contributes to the overall development of the country.
