The Saudi economy is currently diversifying at all levels, and the need to prepare future generations to play their part in the new economic environment is more important today than ever before. With this in mind, Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, the authorized distributor of Toyota vehicles in the country, said it is taking action now to attract and train Saudi youth through its management trainee program.
“The goal is to empower future generations economically and socially, and improve the talent base within Abdul Latif Jameel at the same time,” the company said in a press release. “In addition to its motivational work environment and various employee benefits, Abdul Latif Jameel Motors is devoting its attention to training Saudi Arabian employees — both male and female — across various specialties. This is based on the Japanese ‘kaizen’ principle of continuous improvement adopted by Toyota Motor Corporation, and the belief that preparing future leaders promotes and drives enterprises.”
Abdul Latif Jameel Motors' management trainee program aims to attract the best Saudi talent in order to accelerate their careers and fulfil their skills and capabilities.
Khalid Al-Qarni, executive director of HR operations and recruitment at Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, said: “Trainees spend the first two weeks of the management trainee program at Abdul Latif Jameel Academy honing their skills and abilities. They learn about our departments and operations, including retail, vehicle logistics and guest services. Each trainee will stay in a department for almost nine months before being assigned roles that best suit their skills.”
“The program takes a tailored, unique approach adopted by Abdul Latif Jameel Motors to recruit distinguished Saudi Arabian men and women with bachelor’s and master’s degrees who have displayed leadership skills and ambition. Abdul Latif Jameel Motors provides those individuals with training that puts them on the path toward taking on senior roles in our businesses across Saudi Arabia,” said Al-Qarni.
This year’s program includes females for the first time as the company looks to attract more Saudi Arabian women, which is also in line with Saudi Vision 2030. These women — especially those with leadership skills — will have the opportunity to progress their careers at Abdul Latif Jameel.
