Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) opened registration for the first batch of the ‘azm’ program, designed to train and employ qualified young Saudi vocational talent in high-priority vocational fields.

Azm aims to empower a new generation of Saudi vocational talent with the necessary skills to meet the needs of PIF’s ecosystem, its partners, and the Saudi economy, the fund announced in a statement today.

In August, the PIF launched the azm program in collaboration with the Human Resources Development Fund, the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation, Colleges of Excellence, and ROSHN Group.

The program covers several fields: construction project management, facility management, and health, safety, and environment. It will award internationally recognized certificates and arrange for the employment of trainees who complete the program.

Yazeed AlRashed, Head of the Planning and Partnerships Section in the National Development Division at PIF, stated that opening registrations for azm program reflects the PIF’s dedication to scaling national talent and keeping pace with the growing demand for expertise in promising strategic sectors. “At PIF, together we are invested in better human capital, empowering every individual to seize new opportunities and take ownership in shaping our future,” he added.

Colleges of Excellence will be responsible for the program’s implementation and management to ensure high-quality delivery; meanwhile, ROSHN will participate in governance, institutional oversight, trainee recruitment, and financing.

The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation will contribute to the development of training programs, attracting trainees, and linking them to job opportunities.

Moreover, the Human Resources Development Fund will support employment-linked training and cooperate to qualify and empower promising Saudi vocational talent.
