Bab Rizq Jameel- translated, \u2018beautiful gateway to prosperity\u2019 \u2013 is an initiative of Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives (ALJCI), the corporate social responsibility arm of Abdul Latif Jameel, one of the largest independent distributors of Toyota vehicles in the world.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bab Rizq Jameel, the organization generated 75,030* job opportunities (unverified) in Saudi Arabia in 2014, a 10% increase over its 2013 results and a new record for the organization which was established in Saudi Arabia in 2003. In 2014, of the 75,030 job opportunities created in Saudi Arabia, an encouraging 70% were for females.

These include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The <em><strong>Productive Household Programme<\/strong><\/em>, which targets low-income families, specifically females, aged between 18 and 70, who prefer to work from home on a micro project. The programme provides financial, technical, administrative and marketing support. Loans ranging from Saudi Riyals (SR) 2,000 to 6,000 are provided to the applicant, to help the women produce and sell products. The programme also facilitates marketing activities, displaying products in markets, at exhibitions, and during trade events, or uses social media to promote the products of the beneficiaries. This programme has created<em><strong> 24,939 <\/strong><\/em>job opportunities for females in Saudi Arabia in 2014.<\/li>\n<li>The <em><strong>Small Projects Finance programme <\/strong><\/em>assisted<em><strong> 2,181 <\/strong><\/em>small start-up projects during 2014 in Saudi Arabia.

This programme provides female work without the requirement to attend the workplace, meeting the needs of a family environment and opening up new fields of employment, thus creating more job opportunities to satisfy demand. The programme offers several positions, such as telesales, marketing, telemarketing, call centre work and customer service for example.<\/li>\n<li>The <em><strong>Training Resulting in Employment programme <\/strong><\/em>created <em><strong>1,245 <\/strong><\/em>job opportunities across Saudi Arabia during 2014. In this programme, young men and women receive training to sharpen their skills in areas required by the Saudi labour market. All training courses organized through this programme result in positions within the private sector.<\/li>\n<li>The <em><strong>Taxi Ownership programme <\/strong><\/em>created <em><strong>600<\/strong><\/em> job opportunities during 2014. In this programme young Saudi men are given supported financial assistance to own their vehicles with the end goal to be self-sufficient taxi drivers.<\/li>\n<li>The <em><strong>Truck Ownership programme<\/strong><\/em>, works in the same manner as the taxi programme allowing young Saudi men to eventually own their own truck, and using it to transport goods, vegetables, equipment and passengers. This generated <em><strong>287 <\/strong><\/em>jobs across Saudi Arabia in 2014.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Stadium<\/strong><\/em> job opportunity programme. This was newly launched at the beginning of 2014 and has been very successful in creating over <em><strong>818<\/strong><\/em> temporary jobs for young people during Saudi League football matches.

The Academy was established in 2006 as a training centre under the training resulting in employment programme. It provides diverse art and crafts courses for job seekers, responding to market demand. The courses offer training in tailoring, fashion design, cooking, photography and carpet production, as well as prepare students for secretarial work.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 2003, BRJ helps to create job opportunities for young men and women, matches suitable vacancies and employers with qualified job seekers, creates an appropriate environment in which the owners of small projects can flourish, and supports beneficiaries of working remotely, work from home, and other BRJ programmes.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The outstanding results of our Bab Rizq Jameel\u00a0programmes, as well as the output of our 26 branches, is a clear indication that we are on the right path to help people make a living through job opportunities we can open up for them.&#8221; <\/em>Al Fehaid said.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth mentioning that Bab Rizq Jameel\u00a0also operates and has branches in Egypt, Morocco and Turkey and over 56,000 job opportunities were created in 2014 in these countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1432,"template":"","tags":[],"newscategory":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
