RIYADH: The Kingdom will enhance strategic partnerships with major national companies to rehabilitate the national cadres in various sectors, including mining.
The state-owned Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) discussed the issue with the Saudi Arabian Mining Company "Ma'aden" to provide Saudi youth training in the field of mining.
The scheme aims to increase the number of jobs in this sector to 90,000 by 2020 that would also raise its contribution to the GDP to SR97 billion, said a TVTC official.
At a meeting between TVTC governor Ahmed Al-Fuhaid and Khalid bin Saleh Almudaifer, CEO of Ma'aden, the two agreed to increase the capacity of the Saudi Institute for Mining in Arar by opening new partners to run the institute and take advantage of the training facilities.
