Acuvon Consulting awarded by Misk for youth empowerment efforts
Acuvon Consulting, a boutique consultancy firm based in Saudi Arabia, has been lauded by Misk for the success of its talent partnership with the foundation.
Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s ambitious blueprint for empowerment and societal transformation, emphasizes the development of human capital as a cornerstone for sustainable growth.
In line with their commitment to Vision 2030, Acuvon Consulting and Misk Foundation established a partnership a while back, with the aim to bridge the gap between graduates and the evolving demands of the local job market, offering practical training and hands-on experience crucial for career readiness.
Misk’s career growth program is designed to equip Saudi youth with the skills and trainings needed to thrive in today’s dynamic work environment. The program also provides youth the opportunity to gain experience across various sectors, among others at Acuvon Consulting.
“Misk’s collaboration with Acuvon Consulting not only prepares Saudi youth for the challenges of the modern workplace but also enriches their learning with real-world applications. Their exposure within our consulting teams and working with our diverse clientele enhances their technical skills and helps develop their professional competencies,” said Fadi Dole, KSA Associate Partner and General Manager Arabia at Acuvon Consulting.
For Misk, the partnership extends the positive impact it provides to Saudi Arabia’s youth, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to succeed in the workforce of tomorrow.
Meanwhile, for Acuvon Consulting, the collaboration “not only strengthens our commitment to corporate social responsibility but also reinforces our position as a leader in fostering talent development and innovation within the Kingdom,” said Dole.
