Saudi- 5 day career week starts today at KSU
(MENAFN- Arab News) RIYADH: A five-day career week starts today (Sunday) at King Saud University with 70 companies participating to offer job opportunities to applicants under the sponsorship of Custodian of Two Holy Mosques King Salman.
'The number of participating companies this year is almost twice that of last year which was 46' said KSU Rector Badran Al-Omar.
He said this reflects local firms' positive feedback on government calls for both the public and private sectors to accommodate job seekers.
Al-Omar added that the number of applicants attending Sunday's event is expected to reach 35000 which is greater than the 20000 last year.
However he said that the number of applicants through the website or electronic portal this year reached 13000 lower compared to last year's 21000.
'The number of those following up on job applications reached 13000 this year compared to 4000 last year' he said.
He added that 6000 job seekers are expected to benefit from the career week this year compared to 4500 last year.
Late last year the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced the availability of jobs for qualified women. Interviews were held in November.
This was followed by interviews of young women with bachelor's degrees to fill positions as teachers. The successful applicants were hired as teachers of English and art.
