RIYADH: The Human Resources Development Fund (HADAF) has reviewed its programs and services for job localization in operation and maintenance contracts, during its participation in the “Localization of Operations and Maintenance Contracts in Public Entities” forum.

The 5-day forum kicked off on Sunday with representatives from operations and maintenance companies explaining the ministerial decision to localize contracts in the public sector.

They also discussed the support provided by government agencies participating in the implementation of the decision.

The localization of the sector aims to provide attractive job opportunities for Saudi citizens in order to improve the working environment in the sector and national economic development.

HADAF is hoping to raise the level of participation of Saudis in the labor market in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 reform plans.

Approximately 50,000 jobseekers have been employed through HADAF since the start of 2019.

The forum was organized by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in cooperation with the National Project Management, Operation and Maintenance Organization in Public Entities, HADAF, the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation and the Saudi Contractors Authority.
