RIYADH: Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) Gov. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Fuhaid said the organization is working to develop a strategic partnership with the private sector as one of its initiatives to achieve the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

The private sector, he pointed out, is a major partner in human development.

He was speaking at a function to honor several TVTC coaches who have worked in training programs in the Saudization project of the communications sector, in collaboration with the Huawei company, which is a specialized firm in the smartphone industry.

The ceremony was held at the institution’s headquarters in Riyadh in the presence of China’s Ambassador to the Kingdom Li Huaxin, and Huawei CEO Ramadan Ding in Saudi Arabia.

The TVTC governor said the organization is constantly striving to raise the level of training for the benefit of the youth.

Al-Fuhaid said the youths are preparing to participate in development and rehabilitation in fields that help them to improve professionally in their jobs so they receive more job opportunities. One of these programs is the maintenance program and the sales of mobiles devices.

The Chinese ambassador expressed his happiness on this occasion giving thanks to the foundation and Huawei on activating and developing this strategic partnership.

“China is following the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program 2020, and we have a great opportunity for cooperation between the two countries and we will work on it,” he said.

Huawei CEO Ramadan Deng said: “I am with the Saudi project to work hard to achieve Vision 2030 and its aim to establish an integrated knowledge-based economy.”

Huawei recently trained 100 employees of the institution in the field of telecommunications, in four cities in various regions in the Kingdom, in order to participate with the institution in the national project for the Saudization of the telecommunications sector.

The institution trained more than 21,000 Saudis during the last period in the field of maintenance and sales of mobile phones at more than 100 colleges and technical institutes in various parts of the Kingdom.
