This is under the 'Professional Accreditation' program, which functions with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve the proficiency levels of expat workers entering the Kingdom for employment.
The service's launch follows a directive from the Saudi Council of Ministers that all foreign workers entering the kingdom must first prove that they have the required academic credentials, scientific knowledge, and practical experience to be competitive in the Saudi labor market.
Highly skilled professions are the focus of the Professional Verification service, which checks employees' credentials to make sure they are qualified and effective in their work. See Also: Makkah Grand Mosque never used backup electricity in last 40 years
The Saudi Standard Classification of Occupations and the Saudi Unified Classification of Educational Levels and Specializations are two examples of well-established standards that are used to accomplish this. A unified platform offers the completely automated service, which simplifies and speeds up procedures.
The ministry's Professional Verification implementation plan includes 1,007 professions and aims to cover all countries that export labor as part of the effort.
Jobs in engineering and healthcare, which fall under groupings 1-3 of the Saudi Unified Classification of Professions, are the primary emphasis of the initiative, which works in tandem with the appropriate government entities to achieve this goal.
