Trainings will be available all year round and will be delivered in the format of training cohorts. Exact training dates will be shared  upon enrolling and once selected into the program. Candidates will have to complete all 12 modules, as well as they will have access to certified courses (optional) which they can choose from based on their preference
The length of the trainings will depend on each candidate’s training needs and requirements and may differ slightly from candidate to candidate. Trainings have been streamlined and designed in a manner which guarantees maximum value while ensuring not to overload candidates or disrupting their day-to-day life. The timeframe for the training program can range from 4 weeks to 8 weeks, with training sessions and interventions only happening during selected days and timings (6 training hours per week) within that timeframe.
The training program will adopt a hybrid model, where majority of trainings will be delivered in person through physical workshops, while additional learning resources will be provided on a learning management system for reference. Exact locations for physical training workshops will be announced closer to the dates of workshops and we will try to accommodate multiple regions.
The trainings are of two types:
1. Labor market preparation trainings : CV preparation, interview preparation, how to behave and perform on the job, mindset for success, etc.
2.Job-specific trainings: Trainings for particular job roles and industries. Those are highly dependent on the job to which you will apply and may cover modules such as: Communication, Leadership, Effectiveness & Efficiency, Problem Solving, Digital Literacy, Slide Writing, business tools, customer service, sales, etc.
The program is fully funded by Sandooq Al Watan for all eligible candidates to support them on their journey to employment.
 Candidates will be receiving a certificate upon completion of the program
Given the majority of jobs available in the labor market require some degree of English proficiency, the core language for the delivery of oral and written trainings as well as other communications will be English. However, the majority of the Masarat training and support staff is bilingual and will be able to provide ad-hoc support in Arabic, whenever needed.
Given the nature of the trainings, you will have the choice to participate virtually or in person, depending on where the workshops are held and your access to transportation.
In order to successfully complete the program, candidates will have to attend every training session, as per their signed action plan. In exceptional cases where candidate is not able to attend one of the sessions for a reason that is out of their control, they will need to provide a notice of a minimum of 48 hours to the Masarat program team. They may then be offered the opportunity to attend one of the makeup sessions on a different date.
Jobs are not guaranteed upon completion of the trainings as candidates will still need to make sure to successfully pass the job interviews and make a good first impression in front of employers. However, the trainings provided will ensure you are well prepared and ready to successfully pass the interview and perform well on the job, which is half the battle.
While the core focus of the program revolves around providing opportunities within the private and semi-governmental sectors, candidates who secure opportunities in the public sector will not be dismissed (any form of employment is better than unemployment). However, based on the market trends and government agenda, demand in the private is likely to be higher than the public sector going forward.
Candidates who complete the program and are employed may still benefit from the ongoing support of the Masarat team throughout their employment journey. The Masarat team will follow up with candidates and employers throughout the first few months on the job to ensure things are going in the right direction.
