Vanguard MENA, a prominent private equity firm based in the Middle East, has unveiled the Gulf Career Program following the Global Labor Market Conference 2023 held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al Khateeb emphasized the Kingdom’s commitment to generating 250,000 job opportunities for Expo 2030 and an additional one million jobs by that year during the conference.
Recognized by Vanguard MENA’s Managing Partner Jassim Al-Thani as a pivotal catalyst for regional growth, the Gulf Career Program focuses on the dynamic economies of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. With a global reach extending to 56 countries and a target of 100,000 participants, the program aims to stimulate international career development and attract talent to the vibrant Gulf region. Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE Economic Vision 2030, it underscores Vanguard MENA’s dedication to driving innovation and progress.
Supported by a substantial $10 million USD fund allocated for its development, the Gulf Career Program will back localized training initiatives, offer financial aid to selected regions, and strengthen its commitment to empowering the entire region. Participants will gain access to e-training platforms, global career seminars, and career mentorship.
