Waseem AlZahrani of the HIWPT Training Department shared with the audience a successful story of the HIWPT project for an electric bike or e-bike project developed by trainees.

In addition, on the sidelines of the event, HIWPT held a signing ceremony for an employment-based training agreement with ACWA Power, while Jizan Integrated Gasification and Power Company (JIGPC) and the institute signed an agreement for a continuing partnership of Saudi youth training in operations and maintenance to support the development of the Saudi workforce required for the company’s plant activities.
