Saudization Program

Saudization is over 70% in NCB
The adoption and development of a national workforce, faith in the vision of the country's youth and the provision of opportunities for new Saudi graduates - these are some of the practices, which have been supported by top management in NCB for a long time. The Bank's leaders see them as part of the Bank's responsibilities toward the country and a way to substantiate its vision of service to society. By the early part of 1995 top management had decided that these practices must become more structured processes, ensuring the best possible achievements in the attraction, selection, orientation and placement of new Saudi graduates in the jobs most suitable for their skills and capabilities. All the resources needed for such a strategic goal had to be in place.

By the first of September 1995 the necessary preparations had been completed. The first Saudization group started on Saturday the 16th of September, launching the process of the Induction Program.

The Mission
Our task as the team charged with the Induction Program Saudization Project - is to help in the effort to increase the Saudization ratio in NCB by recruiting talented new Saudi graduates, managing the process and coordinating the work with all the related parties so that it can work as efficiently as possible.

Our Goal
At the beginning of the program, top management set a very clear and high-aiming goal: to raise the Saudization ratio to 75% bank-wide by the end of 2000. Today, we aspire to an even higher one: by the end of 2004, NCB has to be 85% Saudized in terms of manpower.

Our Target
The Induction Program aims to recruit and orient Saudis who are new graduates of high school or a university and who hold a diploma, Bachelor or Master degree in banking, managerial and/or computer-related majors. In order to cope with globalization, they must also be bilingual in Arabic and English.

What we have achieved up to now?
During the last five years, the life of the Induction Program, it has contributed to raising the Saudization ratio from 50% to 73.4% today. That was through:

  • Orienting and placing about 750 Saudi graduates.

  • Getting strong support from top management.

  • Financial support: a budget of more than SR 60 million during the program's life.
