The duration of the training program will be two years at SPSP, whereby students will go through multiple vocational trainings and one year on the job training with Siemens.
Head of Human Resources in Siemens in Saudi Arabia Shadi Aldaoud said: “In accordance with the Kingdom’s efforts in hiring Saudis into the local work force, as Siemens in Saudi Arabia, we are proud of this agreement with SPSP which will cultivate the development of local Saudi talent and expertise. This is the beginning of a series of training and recruitment programs geared toward Saudis.”
This program is one of many educational initiatives Siemens is conducting in the Kingdom, contributing to the development of young nationals and preparing them for a successful and sustainable career.
Students will have the opportunity to take a variety of theoretical courses such as English, math, health, safety and work ethics and practical courses related to the electrical or mechanical field.
SPSP’s MD Abdullah Al-Yami said: “Our goal at SPSP is to work collaboratively and in partnership with industry to provide the highest quality training programs for young Saudis to enable them to gain employment within the petroleum services industry.”
Earlier in February, Siemens announced its intention to invest in the construction of a gas turbine manufacturing facility in the Eastern province.
The facility will create qualified jobs and serve as a center of excellence and a technological hub for knowledge transfer.
The training agreement with SPSP is in line with the establishment of this facility, which is part of the Siemens Saudi Arabia Energy Commitment.
