Al

interested figures that what
distinguishes Rawabi as a family company
is that they follow a governance policy through the establishment of the Family
Council and through the official channels of communication that separates
ownership from management completely, noting that the governance system helps
to ensure our continued success by
encouraging the efficient use of resources and enhancing the sense of
responsibility.
Regarding
the company vision in the field of social responsibility is that our vision is to
be the pioneers in charity work passing the business requirements through
active participation in the sustainable improvement of the communities in which
our work is involved, but our message go in line with the vision of Rawabi
Holding and its message, based on its basic business practice we will complete
the vision of the social responsibility through:
the involvement of the beneficiaries, and focusing on the urgent improvement needs,
and to work with transparency, morals, and following the international best
practices, pursing to achieve alignment between the interests of Rawabi and the
interests of our communities and the international community as a whole.
Al
Turki explained that by believing that the private companies have a major role
in the international economy, the group has improved a plan to launch an
integrated social responsibility and is linked to international and local progress
plans program. Social
and developmental participations
pour into four basic paths that are Rawabi program to invest in the
community, Rawabi program to youth empowerment, Rawabi program to serve the socity,
Rawabi program to spot the social and environmental performance.
He
also pointed that in 2011, youth empowerment program was launched and as the
message of social responsibility in Rawabi Holding is based on the involvement
of beneficiaries and focus on the urgent
improvement and work within a framework of transparency and morality needs we
have chosen the subject of youth empowerment that we
studied how to depend on personal
interviews and through identifying the
most important social issues that we can adopt.
The
starting point of the analytical study shows that the basis of the unemployment
problem is the attitude of the youth employment and skills shortages that
increase the need for training them. The
study provided solutions to many of the most important: to change the way young
people think of their time in schools so as not to get shocked when they enter
the labor market.
The study showed that some young people lack the
guidance in their community, the study suggested finding a career guidance
program that helps in the understanding of their abilities and evaluating themselves
so we decided to choose a program of self choice, and here I found the need to
create a positive social transformation in society, as Rawabi Holding works on empowering
young people between the ages of 16 and
24 through a program of self discovery, which is designed to help young people to
discover their talents and skills
through a journey of self contemplation through three main programs: Rawabi exhibition
to discover the professions, Rawabi program for
job training, and Rawabi program for professional guidance.
Al Turki pointed that Rawabi as a kind of solutions has launched Rawabi exhibition
in 2011 to discover the professions to
be an annual exhibition for two weeks. The
morning was allocated for school visits and includes government and private
Saudi and international schools of all provinces, but at evening it is open to
all, and the exhibition presents a valuable opportunity for young people where
they will meet experts from different fields to help them in making decisions
and planning for their careers through three stages: Discover yourself, discover chances,
and find out your future, it also presents tools to help young people in career
planning and the proper personal
evaluation, also listening to the success stories.
The
exhibition mainly depends on the volunteer efforts of counselors and experts. We
have attracted hundreds of experts from companies and organizations, especially
the youth who participated experiences so that they can recognize more about
careers and jobs available to them.
He
also stressed that the exhibition witnessed a big attendence
of young people and the great interest in its events and was visited by nearly 40,000 visitors during
