The Human Resources Development Fund has announced its contribution to supporting the employment of 437,000 Saudi men and women through its programs and initiatives in the private sector during 2024, achieving a 17% growth compared to 2023. Additionally, the number of beneficiaries of HRDF's training, Enablement, and guidance services and programs reached 2 million individuals in the past year, marking a 5% increase compared to 2023. 

Furthermore, the number of establishments benefiting from the HRDF’s services during the same period exceeded 179,000 across various labor market sectors and regions in the Kingdom, reflecting a 49% growth compared to 2023. Of these establishments, 95% were small, medium, and micro-enterprises. Last year, the total amount spent on training, Enablement, and guidance support programs amounted to SAR 7.74 billion. In contrast, the sustainability rate of the national workforce in the labor market one year after their employment or the conclusion of their programs reached 81%. 

HRDF Director General, Mr. Turki bin Abdullah Al-Jawini, stated, "HRDF operates in effective partnership with various public and private sectors to support and enable Saudi nationals to secure job opportunities in the labor market." He highlighted the significant transformations witnessed by the Fund over the past year, driven by the wise leadership's commitment to investing in human capital. 

Mr. Al-Jawini emphasized that the increase in beneficiaries employed through HRDF’s training, empowerment, and guidance programs reflects its efforts to address labor market changes, meet its needs, and enhance its efficiency. HRDF’s initiatives align with priority economic sectors, the evolving demands of the labor market, and the development of training and empowerment programs tailored to national talents. These efforts support realizing the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives and the National Labor Market Strategy.
