Difference Between Tamyheer and Training-to-Employment Programs
It’s important to know that Tamyheer is an On-the-Job Training program and not necessarily one that ends with employment. This means the company is not obligated to hire you after the training period, though many companies do hire outstanding trainees. If you’re looking for training that guarantees employment afterward, you can search for training-to-employment programs separately advertised by some companies.
