A team from the Saudi Technical Institute for Mining (STIM) in Arar is touring the Kingdom to encourage graduates of secondary schools to attend STIM in the next academic year.
The team, headed by STIM CEO Hisham Kamal, will brief students on STIM’s, terms of admission, duration of study, and benefits given to students during their stay in the program.
STIM is targeting students in areas where mines of the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Maaden) are located. It is Maaden’s mission to develop and improve society and the surrounding environment where it is operating.
The STIM is a non-profit foundation established jointly by Maaden and the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) to boost the mining industry in the Kingdom by recruiting and training a national cadre.
STIM specializes in education and training in the mining industry through the provision of a two-year diploma followed by eight months of on-the-job training in underground and surface mining, and mining industry techniques.
