The Makkah Region branch of the Institute of Public Administration (IPA) has opened Graduate and Job Fair 30, with 18 employers offering more than 370 job opportunities across a range of specialisations. The fair was inaugurated by branch director general Dr. Mohammed bin Nasser Basim under the patronage of Minister of Human Resources and Social Development and IPA board chairman Eng. Ahmed bin Sulaiman Al-Rajhi.

Participating organisations come from banking, industry, trade, technology, health, logistics, sport and hospitality, as well as human resources development and employment bodies and the non-profit sector. Graduates and job seekers can learn about each organisation's openings, talk directly to recruiters and sit personal interviews on the spot, speeding up the hiring process.

The IPA said the fair is part of its role in preparing qualified Saudi talent, strengthening partnerships with different sectors and aligning its training with labour market needs, in support of localisation targets and Saudi Vision 2030.
