About the Sharakah Initiative:

The Saudi Water Partnership Company launched the Sharakah Initiative to prepare recent graduates with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in various scientific disciplines.

The program is structured around work tasks aimed at transferring and applying knowledge, experiences, and skills across diverse contexts. This approach helps participants enhance their capabilities, performance, and productivity. Our goal is for participants to engage in practical activities while receiving training and opportunities for professional development, equipping them to emerge as future leaders. The initiative was inaugurated in 2020 by the Saudi Water Partnership Company as part of its commitment to social responsibility and alignment with Vision 2030.
