Frequently Asked Questions

Online content & workshops = 15 hours remote interaction

In-field Job Shadowing Day experience = 7 hours face-to-face interaction

Total commitment = 22 hours

Participants must commit to completing all 22 hours of program content within the cohort time frame assigned to them.

 

Cohort 1: July 1st to August 10th 

Cohort 2: July 26th to August 25th

 

For the obligatory online workshops, participants will have at least two different dates to choose from for each workshop. This allows participants a degree of flexibility for managing other summer commitments that they may have. Furthermore, participants will have the option to change the assigned date of their in-field Job Shadowing Day experience if their parent/guardian requests this in writing and can provide a compelling reason for a change in assignment date to be actioned.

The course is delivered in Arabic; therefore, participants must be fluent in Arabic. However, if participants speak English, they may get an opportunity to practice their English language during the Job Shadowing Day experience and/or during their personal online Career Counseling session.

Participants attending any school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (public or private) are highly encouraged to register for this program. Participants must be Saudi nationals.

All successful applicants will receive further information about this program and guidance for the next steps on 7th June 2022 (once the registration period has ended).
