RIYADH: The Labor and Social Development Ministry recently organized the Young Entrepreneur Day for students in the Diriyah district.

A total of 40 male and female students took part in the event where they marketed their products to visitors. The meeting of buyers and sellers was organized by the women’s wing of the social development department of the ministry.

Prior to the show, the ministry organized a two-day training program for participants of the show to help them identify the nature of their businesses, teach them marketing skills and give them confidence to run their own businesses.

The official said the students gained useful experience in dealing with cash transactions and how to save their capital and grow their businesses.

The show is open to the public from 4 p.m.; Friday will be the last day of the show.
