Challenge:

The KSA regulatory authority wanted to launch a comprehensive training programme for new National recruits to help them build their professional capabilities and to ensure they are well-qualified to join the business stream of their choice. They partnered with us keeping in mind our regional track record of upskilling young professionals to become future business leaders.

Solution:

We designed, developed and delivered a bespoke highflyer graduate programme aimed at upskilling 100 Saudi nationals. The programme comprised of:

  • Leadership, finance and business skills experiential courses
  • Professional qualifications from recognised professional bodies (Internal Audit- Accounting and Project Management)
  • Capstone projects: These are real work based projects that help in measuring ROI on the programme
  • Confidence based knowledge pre and post assessments
  • On-the-job experience that helped graduates progress in the Authority
  • Coaching for the managers so they are capable to help new hires excel in their roles
  • E-Learns: Customised learning modules

Impact:

76 Saudi graduates were successfully trained and developed. Overall satisfaction rate was 85% based on actual feedback received from the participants. Our client was extremely satisfied and evaluated the project as a 10 on 10 - 100% feedback score.
