IHCC, a major turnkey solutions provider that specializes in health care, education and mixed-use projects, recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Jeddah College of Technology (JCT) to begin the training ended employment program.

The college offers technical and vocational training programs that are tailored to meet labor market requirements in the Kingdom. As part of the agreement, IHCC will train and recruit 30 students from the college every year.

IHCC will mentor these students, offering them hands-on, practical training to prepare them for full-time recruitment with the company on completion of their training.

The initiative is in line with IHCC’s commitment to partner with the community and encourage young talent to achieve their full potential.

Sultan Batterjee, CEO of IHCC, who is actively involved in engaging the region’s youth and inspiring them to venture into innovative areas of enterprise development, commented: “I am excited about partnering with the Jeddah College of Technology to implement this program, which we hope will further improve employees’ skills and job knowledge as well as encourage youth to pursue their studies and contribute productively both to their own development and that of the country’s economy. This also ties in with our mandate to build a sustainable future by attracting the best manpower for our key businesses.”

Ali Al-Asiri, director of alumni affairs trainees, JCT, said: “We are enthusiastic about the impact of the program on our students. The promise of employment with one of the country’s leading companies is a motivating factor for the students who enroll for our courses. Practical training is an important aspect of vocational and technical education, so this is a step in the right direction.”
