Abdul Rahman Abdul Aziz Al-Fihaid, executive director at BRJ Saudi Arabia, said ALJ Community Services Programs, since its inception, has successfully created more than 145,000 job opportunities.

He added that the driving force for this achievement was the support from governmental organizations, specifically HRDF, the Saudi Credit and Saving Bank, the Ministry of Labor and private sector companies, in addition to the efforts of more than 400 job creation officers.

According to Al-Fihaid, the job opportunities include all those who have been trained and employed, directly employed, supported through small projects, or benefited from BRJ’s taxi ownership, truck ownership, productive household or work from home programs.

Al-Fihaid said that BRJ is planning to create 45,000 job opportunities throughout the Kingdom during 2010.
