Al Hammad added that participating in such career-oriented initiatives comes as an added benefit for both employees and the local economy, two key segments associated with stc’s human resources strategy. He also stressed, “We will spare no effort in ensuring that our employees have access to the proper resources they need to grow their skillset and achieve operational efficiency for the company.”
On a related note, through its ongoing participation in career fairs and in-house internship programs, stc continues to organize and sponsor various initiatives that attract and empower talented individuals. These platforms allow the company to meet aspiring candidates who possess the right characteristics that will assist stc in achieving future growth.

Group programs can also be enabled, allowing members from various sectors to be informed about training programs that can achieve a shared objective, as well as suggestions for alternative programs that can reap added benefits within each field.
