Alfanar Construction, Saudi Arabia’s major construction company for turnkey and project development capabilities, claims it has successfully concluded Project Management Academy (PMA) program for the first batch of students.

The program offered a fast-track career program for its employees to develop and build their skills, which will enable them to take on greater corporate responsibilities and become future leaders in the field of project management. The company honored six PMA program graduates at a ceremony, which recently took place in the presence of top management at the Holiday Inn Riyadh — Izdihar.

Sabah Al-Mutlaq, vice chairman, Alfanar Construction, said: “Alfanar Construction believes that there is a need to constantly enhance the existing skills of employees while developing new ones so that they can deliver their finest performance. Therefore, the company has introduced a program, which enables select potential employees to undergo comprehensive learning and training experience essential to take on important senior roles in the company. We are delighted with the immense success of the program under which several employees were trained on various aspects of professional project management. This has been possible only because of our team efforts, dedication and long-term strategic planning. In addition, we have benefited from several successful global schools that have helped us in launching this program. We are confident that it will support the company’s growth and development and contribute toward the sector’s progress. I congratulate the six graduates and wish them a successful career growth with Alfanar Construction.”

Abdullah Al-Hammad, president, Alfanar Construction, said: “The PMA program is an initiative that allows the company to transfer knowledge and experience acquired through its large portfolio of major projects to our promising new generation of engineers.”
