Youth Empowerment

We can call the Saudi society the name of the youth society, as youth under the age of 30 constitute the largest proportion of the Kingdom's population. This makes them an essential basis for economic and societal transformation in all fields. The exceptional capabilities of young people and their constant ambition for positive change constitute a great force for the success of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. It is not surprising that young people (of both sexes) are more optimistic about the goals of Vision 2030 and are involved in its programs. Belief in visions and huge strategic projects always requires a deep understanding of their components, and building bridges of knowledge in their minute details, in a way that enhances confidence in their goals and those in charge of them.

Based on the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and its continuous bet on the promising Saudi youth as one of the most important and largest basic groups in it. In its endeavor to achieve the Kingdom's Vision 2030, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development launched many programs and projects to empower youth within the programs and projects of national transformation initiatives, with the aim of increasing youth participation socially and in the labor market. The Ministry seeks to overcome all obstacles and harness all capabilities to serve this important group of society, by creating a positive social perspective on them through vocational rehabilitation programs and the various activities offered to them.

Among the efforts of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in the workforce rehabilitation initiative; The "Job Incentives for the Non-Profit Sector" program comes to achieve a great integration between human resources goals and social development goals, as the program contributes to generating thousands of attractive qualitative jobs that maintain superior competencies and attract more of them to the non-profit sector, and then these competencies contribute – In turn - in empowering the sector and improving the work environment in it so that it becomes more capable of generating attractive qualitative jobs.
