He further said that it serves as a stimulus to ensure a better future for the emerging Arab generations in light of global trends to achieve sustainable development, within the investment in human capital, talent and creativity.
Meanwhile, the Mawhiba’s Secretary-General, Dr Saud bin Saeed Al-Mathami, stated that the foundation will be providing the talents with a number of in-person and remote care programs.
They include the ” Excellence Program for Enrollment in Prestigious Universities”, consisting of guidance provision, as well as consultancy and leadership training, in addition to the Mawhiba Global Enrichment Program and the Mawhiba Academic Enrichment Program.
