Siemens and Saudi Electricity Company to cooperate on expert training program for Saudi Arabia
Eight selected engineers of Saudi Electricity Company ( SEC ) will commence training at Siemens in Germany as part of an Expert Development Program, with the aim of expanding their know-how in the fields of energy and grid technology. Training will officially start on 5 December 2011, and will run for 52 weeks. The Saudi engineers will receive training based on a proven Siemens dual-training concept, which combines theory with practice. The theoretical instruction will be held at the prestigious Siemens Technik Akademie in Berlin and Nuremberg, while practical training will take place at locations including the Siemens state-of-the-art gas turbine manufacturing plant in Berlin and its transformer production facility in Nuremberg."Saudi Arabia and the region are undergoing highly dynamic growth and have a major demand for sustainable energy supply. That calls for technological know-how and creates opportunities for ambitious, well-trained people," said Dietmar Siersdorfer, CEO of Siemens Energy in the Middle East. Arja Talakar, CEO of Siemens in Saudi Arabia commented, "I'm delighted that we've concluded this cooperation agreement with SEC . Over the course of a year, we'll be training these young people in the latest technologies at Siemens . This cooperation is a further milestone in our long-term relationship with SEC and our commitment to the development of local Saudi talent."
Ali S. Al-Barrak, President and CEO of SEC said, "Training of the first eight engineers in Germany is an important first step in this direction."
