Registration for the Tamheer program at the Qassim Health Cluster: Specializations and requirements

In a move aimed at enhancing national talent and empowering Saudi youth to actively participate in the labor market, the Qassim Health Cluster announced the opening of applications for its on-the-job training program, "Tamheer," in strategic partnership with the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF). This initiative comes in response to the growing need for qualified personnel in the health and administrative sectors, aligning with the goals of the National Transformation Program and the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

Details of available training opportunities and specializations

The association explained that the program aims to attract talent across a diverse range of career paths, allocating 15 training slots in each specialization to ensure high-quality training and a focus on developing individual skills. Available specializations include:

• Human Resources Specialist.
• Physiotherapist.
• Clinical nutritionist.
• Health informatics specialist.
• Health and Hospital Services Management Technician.
• Database technician.

Advantages of the Tamheer program and financial support

The Tamheer program is one of the most important national initiatives aimed at bridging the gap between educational outcomes and labor market demands. The program offers its participants a range of incentives, most notably a monthly stipend of up to 3,000 riyals for diploma holders and above, provided by the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF). In addition, trainees receive comprehensive insurance coverage against work-related risks, online training courses to develop their personal and professional skills, and upon completion of the program, they are awarded an accredited certificate of experience that enhances their resume and increases their future employment opportunities.

National context and importance of the initiative

This initiative is particularly important given the significant developments in the Kingdom's healthcare sector. Through these programs, the Qassim Health Cluster aims to inject new blood into the healthcare system by developing qualified Saudi professionals capable of keeping pace with technological and administrative advancements in healthcare facilities. On-the-job training provides graduates with essential practical experience that cannot be acquired through theoretical education alone, thus enhancing their readiness to assume actual job responsibilities immediately upon completion of their training.

Admission requirements and application process

The group specified a number of conditions that applicants must meet to ensure maximum benefit from the program, which are:

• The applicant must be a Saudi citizen.
• Not to be registered with social security or the civil service (not currently employed).
• He must not have previously benefited from the “Tamheer” program.

The Qassim Health Cluster called on those wishing to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly register through the National Labor Portal (Taqat) via the dedicated link: https://taqat.sa/web/guest , noting that the deadline for receiving applications is February 27, 2026.
