We'll be moving to Khobar then Jubail with my husband's new job with Sadara (joint venture between Dow Chemical & Saudi Aramco). My 21yo son, who will receive his Associates Degree in Computer Science, Information System Support Specialist next month, will be coming with us. He's been working in the IT department at the college for a year. I know that Saudi Aramco usually requires at least 2 years experience. Would they count his year of work at the college since it was before he got his degree? What other jobs would be available for someone like him? If not with Saudi Aramco, then what other companies would hire someone fresh out of school? (He'll actually be pursuing his BS, too, though...probably online)
Thanks for any info you can give me!

He can always apply at jobsataramco.com for any job he feels he can do. Aramco may very well not hire him, but one doesn't know unless you try. Once in kingdom, he may find other companies that do not mind he's fresh out of school.

I think Aramco usually hires only Saudis right out of college as they need to invest in training them for 3 years. (my husband works in IT and is Saudi)
Your son needs to be aware when looking for a job that the company that hires him needs to sponsor him. Your husband cannot remain his sponsor. There is a lot in the news currently about people working illegally in Saudi Arabia.

Worth reading: www.arabnews.com/sponsor-system- ... r-20-years "...Expat men, over 20 years of age and living in the Kingdom under their fathers’ sponsorship are facing a major problem, as they now have to find their own sponsor.
This regulation is considered extreme as many of these men are still studying. In fact, they may not be able to find sponsors, as expats must work for a company or an individual to receive sponsorship.
Those who cannot find a sponsor will be forced to return to their home country or stay illegally in the Kingdom. ..."
You should clarify with your husband's employer the terms of your son's visa, if you haven't already done so. |
