CEO in his Recurring Message to ARASCANS<br />
ARASCO is one of the initial companies<br />
in supporting the country , s orientation to<br />
nationalize job positions in the Kingdom.<br />
Our strategy in employment is fully consistent with<br />
the objectives of the Kingdom Vision 2030 and the<br />
National Transformation Program 2020.<br />
Efforts are still persistence and steps<br />
are accelerating with a full confidence in<br />
the process of nationalizing job positions<br />
in the Kingdom through subrogating<br />
qualified Saudi cadres within both public<br />
and private sectors in order to conform<br />
with the Kingdom Vision 2030 and<br />
the National Transformation Program<br />
2020, which aims at providing 220<br />
thousand job opportunities for the Saudi<br />
manpower annually. This will be within<br />
ambitious programs to Saudization of<br />
job positions in all economic, service<br />
and development sectors. Ministry of<br />
Labor and the competent authorities<br />
have managed until now from achieving<br />
abilities success in this regard, as the<br />
Ministry have made jobs nationalization<br />
programs a main objective in all its current<br />
and future plans. In the same direction,<br />
Human Resources Development Fund in<br />
the Kingdom is working on supporting<br />
such efforts and maintaining the Saudis<br />
males and females rights in getting the<br />
appropriate job opportunities within<br />
both public and private sectors in line<br />
with the labor systems in the Kingdom.<br />
ARASCO was aware of all programs<br />
related to jobs nationalization in the<br />
Kingdom and supporting the directions<br />
made by the Ministry of Labor and the<br />
competent authorities, as it complies<br />
with the public strategy of the country in<br />
the employment field and enhancing the<br />
exerted efforts in this regard.<br />
Saudis First<br />
Since its establishment in 1983 AD, the<br />
successive managements to ARASCO<br />
kept putting the employment of Saudis<br />
as one of its priorities, which interpret its<br />
national message that aims at enabling<br />
the national cadres from holding<br />
positions in the company and receiving<br />
training that raise the abilities and skills<br />
of those cadres in all fields. The company<br />
further provides outstanding advantages<br />
for its employees, especially the<br />
nationals. The result of such continuous<br />
care is the appearance of distinguished<br />
groups from the Saudi elements that<br />
managed within short time to prove<br />
their presence in all occupied positions<br />
and managed to acquire the necessary<br />
experience from the Arab and foreign<br />
elements that contributed in all stages<br />
of company , s development and they had<br />
clear footprints in all Units. ARASCO is<br />
still working on opening its doors to the<br />
Saudi youth, males and females, in order<br />
to join the company in administrative,<br />
technical and mechanical job positions<br />
in all operational fields. The near future<br />
periods will witness a steady increase<br />
of the local elements rates within the<br />
labor systems in the company in order<br />
to achieve the national objectives<br />
and enhance the jobs nationalization<br />
programs in the Kingdom. This will<br />
happen according to systematic plan<br />
emerging from the constant convictions<br />
of the management concerning the<br />
importance of hard work to execute the<br />
Saudization programs through organized<br />
steps that make the assimilated Saudi<br />
elements in the company qualitative<br />
additions in its production sectors. This<br />
direction starts to appear evidently<br />
in the estimated numbers of national<br />
employees who belong to ARASCO<br />
during the recent years.<br />
Saudi Leaders<br />
Based on the efforts being exerted by<br />
the country in jobs nationalization and<br />
opening job opportunities for Saudi<br />
nationals, ARASCO strategy came in line<br />
with and supporting to such directions,<br />
and responsive to their plans in<br />
assimilation of qualified national cadres<br />
within the various units of the company.<br />
This direction appears through the<br />
extensive programs made by ARASCO<br />
during the past years with the purpose<br />
of replacement that witnessed by the<br />
leading positions in all productive,<br />
operative and logistics units of the<br />
company; whereas those positions<br />
have been Saudized with an estimated<br />
percentage until now. This direction<br />
that is adopted by the company is not<br />
limited to the leading positions that<br />
include Vice Presidents and Presidents<br />
as Units , heads only, but the company<br />
is moving forward in the nationalization<br />
process with all labor, technical, etc.<br />
positions according to a studied plan<br />
assimilates the changes and conform<br />
with the public objectives of the<br />
company in the field of food production.<br />
Future Steps<br />

among the paramount hundred Saudi<br />
companies, is working and seeking<br />
according to its strategies to be the<br />
main source of the food supply chain<br />
in the Gulf and the Middle East by<br />
2020 based on the massive expansion<br />
programs witnessed by the company in<br />
all its Units. In the meantime, ARASCO<br />
