The Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF)
HRDF is mainly concerned with providing financial support to organizations that train and qualify Saudis in the private sector.[4] Thus, in order to motivate the private sector in Saudi Arabia to hire Saudi citizens, HRDF pays 30% of the salaries paid to Saudis working in the private sector in the first year of employment.[5] Moreover, Hadaf supports Saudi entrepreneurs.[6]

HRDF has launched an
Saudi Women Empowerment Program
The program aims at encouraging Saudi women to enter the workforce in Saudi Arabia. HRDF has launched two programs namely, ‘Qurrat’ and ‘Wusool’. "Qurrat" is responsible for providing the working mothers a hospitality service for their children, "Wusool" provides Saudi female workers with the necessary transportation fees.[3] However, "Wusool" program has received criticism by many working ladies as it does not pay such fees for female employees until they complete working for three years in the same private company.[8]
E-summer Camp
In 2019, HADAF launched an online training course program in collaboration with a number of parties. The main aim of the program is to qualify university students, fresh graduates and entrepreneurs and prepare them for the job market.[1]
