Glowork has announced the launch of the 4th edition of the Women’s Employment Fair at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh on Sept. 27-29, 2016.

Khalid Bin Waleed AlKhudair, Glowork Founder and CEO, the entity organizing the exhibition, said the company strives to actively contribute to achieving the Saudi Arabia 2030 Vision so as to enhance the contribution of Saudi women in the advancing development in the Kingdom. He noted that the support offered to the exhibition by the government, as well as the partnership provided by a number of leading Saudi companies, are indications of the success of previous exhibitions.

“Last year the Glowork employment fair was held in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam and attracted a total of around 50,000 job seekers across the three cities with the participation of 300 local and international companies, and we succeeded in finding employment opportunities for around 10% of the attendees, as well as providing training and signing job offers for 3,703 attendees,” AlKhudair added.

This year Glowork expects to attract more than 15,000 job seekers in Riyadh, who will take advantage of the direct employment opportunities offered by the companies, as the exhibition’s organizers estimate that 20% of the attendees will get hired for new jobs.

This year, the exhibition will include a special program designed to help attendees get the employment opportunities they want, or the training programs they seek to join. The latter comes alongside 25 workshops, a number of personal interviews, as well as direct meetings with representatives from 60 companies in Riyadh.
