The campaign of Saudization aims to saudize some jobs sectors including retails and sales jobs. And to support the Saudization, the Labor Ministry had launched a special training program for Saudi Nationals, to be trained and make them fit to work for the targeted different categories of business activities. 

The Saudi Government has prioritized Saudization, as a positive solution aiming to increase employment of Saudi Nationals across all sectors of the domestic economy, to reduce servility on foreign workers, and to get back and restore income that would have flowed overseas as remittances. According to Saudi Arabia census, as recorded in April 2010 – its populations has reached so far to 27,136,977.
