Developing The Leaders Of Tomorrow
Whilst all GCC countries are implementing reforms to make employment of National citizens a priority, a shortfall of qualified professionals in different sectors is still hampering recruitment and hiring Nationals just to achieve the numbers is not a viable solution.
