Stemming out of its commitments towards its goals in human development and its corporate social responsibility toward its communities, Floward, the go-to online flowers and gifts delivery destination in MENA and UK, is collaborating with “MISK Skills” to offer Saudi youth a variety of training opportunities. The two parties met on Thursday, June 30th, 2022, at the Foundation’s headquarters in Riyadh in the presence of Floward KSA’s HR Manager, Mr. Abdulkareem Al-Shamari and “MISK Skills” Director, Mr. Nasser Al-Mutairi.
Over the course of six months, Floward will be offering different training programs for Saudi youth in collaboration with MISK Skills to create opportunities for young Saudi talents and to help unleash their potential in accordance with the goals set in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
It was announced that the first collaboration between both parties will be a Traineeship Program that will be targeting soon-to-be university graduates and fresh university graduates to help them kickstart their careers by gaining unique professional experience at Floward. The program will give two trainees the chance to work with a team of highly skilled professionals at Floward’s offices in Riyadh and two trainees in Floward’s office in London, UK. Floward will also offer programs that will give two participants that chance to work in its offices in Riyadh and two other participants the chance to work in its office in Dubai and that is to gain technical experience.
Floward Chief Growth Officer Mr. Mohammad Al Arifi said: “We are honoured to partner with ‘MISK Skills’ in a bid to help fulfill the vision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz, the Founder and Chairman of the Board of the Foundation. At Floward, we always aim to encourage youth by collaborating with local foundations and by offering valuable job and training opportunities for the youth of our communities.”
