How Jeddah Season Is Serving Saudi Youth

The Jeddah Season has succeeded in providing countless job opportunities for both young women and men that helped them gain the experience needed to qualify them to enter the job market.
Around 5,000 young Saudis are working relentlessly to manage the activities of the festival and make sure everything goes smoothly.
This aligns with the Kingdom’s vision of empowering its youth and supporting the local enterprises both small and medium, in addition to providing volunteering opportunities.
Jeddah Season kicked off on June 8 and will run until July 18 and has so far attracted thousands of visitors of all ages, countless international events and activities have also been taking place which only made sense that it would require a large number of employment.
It is also being held at five different sites: King Abdullah Sports City, Al-Hamra Corniche, the Jeddah Waterfront, Obhur and Historic Jeddah (Al-Balad), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
So far, the season has been aligning with the reform plan of the 2030 Vision, which aims at advancing the welfare of the Saudi society, diversifying local development opportunities and creating more and more job opportunities to serve the youth.

This Saudi Landmark Just Won a Prestigious Award for Its Innovative Architectural Design

The King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) has received the American Concrete Institute (ACI) award for concrete construction excellence.
The building, which is designed by Zahra Hadid Architects (ZHA), is one of the most well-known landmarks in Riyadh. It’s known for its unique architectural design.
The structure features an hexagonal honeycomb structure which stands out with hexagonal cell openings providing shade from the harsh sun. “ZHA projects have always been unique and creative in an unprecedented, nontraditional way. There’s no other structure like it in the entire world,” Saudi architect Mokhtar Al Shoaibi told Arab News.
The building is made of extremely complex steel, said Saudi architect Mukhtar Al-Shoaibi.
“The contractor working on the job must have gone through so much to install the joints and then apply the sheets over it and now it acts as a monument in the Kingdom,” he told Arab News.
It’s also worth mentioning that KAPSARC won the title of ‘smartest building’ in Saudi Arabia from the Honeywell Smart Building Awards program.
“I’m proud to see Saudis accomplish that. There are many more major projects coming up in the Kingdom as well, and I can’t wait to see what they’ll present,” Mukhtar Al-Shoaibi said.
