Saudi Arabia to open 27 vocational training centers
Vocational training has become an essential part of developing a competent
and skilled workforce to grow the country's economy, according to business
leaders and academics.
The state-owned Technical and Vocational Training
Corporation (TVTC) has enrolled more than 100,000 young Saudi boys and girls for
vocational training as part of a comprehensive plan to reduce dependence on
foreign workers.
On completion of the training programs, these graduates
will be absorbed by public and private sector organizations operating in
different sectors across the Kingdom.
New training facilities have been
opened in different provinces, where a variety of technical specialties, such as
automobile training, office management, accountancy, multimedia and computer
(technical support) are being taught. Several other vocational training courses
include networking, electronics, food production technology, fabrication and
designing.
Training programs focus on laying a "firm foundation" that
will encourage Saudi students to make a lifelong commitment to learning and
developing their career paths. One of the key developmental projects to be
implemented by the TVTC in the coming year is the introduction of bachelor
degree program in three technical colleges.
English Language Program
(ELP) has also been introduced in a number of colleges in Jazan, Najran, Baha,
Tabuk, Jouf, Northern Border, Buraida, and Ahsa.
The program is meant to
improve trainees' linguistic skills and to master the English language, which is
being widely used in the Kingdom and across the world.
