General context: The “Tamheer” program and its role in Vision 2030
The Tamheer program is a leading national initiative launched by the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) to support and empower young Saudi talent. Its primary goal is to bridge the gap between academic education and the actual demands of the labor market by equipping graduates with the practical experience and skills necessary to enhance their chances of securing suitable employment. This program aligns with broader efforts to achieve the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, specifically the human capital development program, which focuses on preparing globally competitive citizens.
The importance of the initiative for the health sector in Qassim
This announcement comes as part of the pivotal role played by the Qassim Health Cluster within the Kingdom's healthcare transformation. Health clusters are working to restructure medical services to enhance operational efficiency and improve the quality of care provided to beneficiaries.

Benefits and admission requirements of the program
The program offers a range of valuable benefits to trainees to ensure maximum benefit, including a monthly stipend of up to 3,000 Saudi Riyals for diploma holders and above, provided by the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF).

To ensure that support is directed to those who deserve it, the group set a number of conditions for joining the program, most notably that the applicant be a Saudi citizen, and not be registered in the social insurance system or the civil service as an employee on the job, with the necessity that he has not previously benefited from the “Tamheer” program.
