MADINA – The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) is planning to train about one million young men and women for the Saudi labor market.

Sources told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the plan targets professional and technical skills and is in line with the government’s focus on industrial expansion. Graduates will work in the private and public sectors in fields such as commerce, industry and agriculture, the sources added. It targets those who did not complete their secondary and undergraduate studies.

The plan will reduce the number of Hafiz beneficiaries by 50 percent, especially after the private sector increases Saudization to 10 percent by 2013, the sources added.
