Employability Services

National workforce programmes measured on whether people are still in role at twelve months, not on how many were placed.

Gulf professionals in a contemporary institutional workplace.
The position

Placement is the easy number.

A programme that places a hundred nationals and loses sixty within a year has not succeeded. It has produced a headline and a retention problem.

National workforce policy across the Gulf has moved on from headcount to progression and retention, and the programmes that were built for the first target do not meet the second.

Our model runs in four phases and does not stop at the offer letter. What happens in months three to twelve is where the programme is actually judged.

The model

Four phases.

Programme delivery at scale runs on Taaeen Intelligence: Employability — candidate tracking through to post-placement outcome measurement. It is an AI+ product, included at no additional cost during the engagement, with a subscription handover once the programme closes.

Phase 01

Assess

Aptitude, preference and readiness measured properly, in both languages, against the roles genuinely available.

Phase 02

Develop

Targeted development against the measured gap — not a standard curriculum delivered to everyone.

Phase 03

Place

Matching to employers, with the hiring manager prepared as carefully as the candidate.

Phase 04

Track

Retention and progression followed to twelve months, with intervention where a placement is drifting.

Where it applies

Three programme types.

National workforce programmes

Government-sponsored programmes with progression and retention targets, not placement counts alone.

Graduate employability

University and consortium programmes, with career readiness curricula and alumni outcome tracking.

Employer readiness

Preparing the receiving organisation — managers, onboarding and role design — so a placement holds.
