HIWPT supports the initiative to train, qualify and employ Saudi cadres in quarries and crushers

As part of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources’ initiative to implement the program to hire Saudi cadres in private quarries and crushers, the Higher Institute for Water and Power Technologies, as the strategic partner of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation and in collaboration with Colleges of Excellence, has recently begun to provide training services to various companies engaged in quarrying activities.

Ten different companies, namely Jamal Eid Enazei Company, General Agencies & Contracting, Dhaifallah Dakhil Allah Al Hudhaili Manufacturing Company, Mining Projects Est. for Contracting, B2 Company, Khubara’a AlMawadd for Mining, Wadi AlRimal Liltaedin Company, Al-Fath United Company, Saad Al-Saedi & Sons Liability Company, and Saudi Bin Ladin Group, have all signed agreements with HIWPT to begin providing technical training services in quarries and crushers.

Trainees of sponsoring companies will complete a three-month qualifying course at the HIWPT branch in Jeddah to meet the ministry’s technical professional criteria, as well as the skills and information necessary to perform their jobs as Saudi cadres in quarries and crushers.

Successful graduates will get a certificate, recognition from the ministry, and employment opportunities upon completion of the program.

Meanwhile, in order to assess the status of the training program and meet the trainees, representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources paid a special visit to the ongoing training of trainees in quarries and crushers at the HIWPT branch in Jeddah on June 22, 2022. After the visit, they continued on to the HIWPT main campus in Rabigh to meet the other staff members and take a tour of the other training facilities on the campus.
