In a gesture that is the first of its kind in commercial centers across the Kingdom, Red Sea Mall has set up a booth within the mall to promote job opportunities for the retail sector. This step comes as a contribution from the mall to support the nationalization program. Earlier this year, the mall had organized a nationalization campaign in cooperation with the Ministry of Labor and Social Development Branch and the Human Resources Development Fund. The campaign has been successful in employing 1340 young men and women across many outlets operating within the mall.

 

Continuing the Nationalization campaign under the slogan "Hand in Hand for Future Career", the Mall continues to accept applications and CVs as part of its efforts to localize jobs in the private sector. The mall has been assigned a permanent booth within the premises to receive applications under the supervision of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development.

 

General Manager of Red Sea Mall, Engineer Ryan Gadouri, said: “The private sector plays a significant role in supporting the Nationalization program. We at Red Sea Mall, firmly believe in this. Which is why, we dedicate our efforts to the nationalization campaign by setting up a booth where we accept applications of those looking for job opportunities, especially after the process of nationalization, announced by the ministry, has prompted many young people to opt for the retail sector. Since the launch of the campaign in last February, the booth has been receiving many applications. We are delighted with the cooperation of our tenants and the support they offer by accepting young people who are willing to work."

 

Red Sea Mall hosted the Red Sea Mall Career Fair on 15thFebruary 2018, a special initiative dedicated towards promoting Nationalization and helping Saudi youth find suitable jobs, with the support and initiation of retailers and business partners. Through this campaign, the Center seeks to contribute towards the desired percentage of Nationalization in line with the Saudi Vision 2030, which aims at giving one million jobs to the Saudi nationals in the retail sector by 1442H 2020.
