CarePoint Global Business Plan

Saudi-based consulting firm that specializes in franchising, training, procurement, property, man

power, investment and partnerships. The company is interested in partnering with international
companies that want to establish operations in the Middle East. Through a partnership with Red

Rocks Community College of Colorado, it provides OSHA-certified safety courses specific to the oil,

gas, chemical, construction and manufacturing industries.

The company recently purchased a large piece of land in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, where it plans to build a
state-of-the- art training complex that will offer safety and technical training. It is currently looking for
companies to provide curriculum and equipment.

CURRENT DEMAND

The government has identified technical and administrative training as critical to the country’s
economic and social development. Graduates of training programs in healthcare, agriculture and
teaching are steadily filling professional positions throughout the country. Most of Saudi Arabia’s
vocational training centers are operated by the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Education. The
Institute for Public Administration, established in 1961 as a semi-independent public agency,
provides basic training for civil servants through branches in Dammam and Jeddah and a special

branch in Riyadh for training women. It offers courses in administration, law, accounting, computer
science, maintenance, personnel management, secretarial skills and management planning.

Opportunities in the Saudi market can be found in English language programs for professional
development as well as hands-on training in specializations such as machine tooling, metalworking,
electro- mechanics and auto mechanics. The government’s priority is to provide young Saudis with
skills that are in high demand and courses that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of the
unemployed.
