Saudia Cargo signed an agreement to train and hire 280 Saudis in collaboration with the National Training Center for Facilities and Hospitality Management (NTCFHM). The center is run by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), under the direct supervision of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC).
The agreement is in line with Saudia Cargo’s Strategic Transformation Plan 2020, launched early 2017, which is also aligned to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 aiming to create job opportunities for Saudis through Saudization.
Mohammed Bushnaq, president, human resources, Saudia Cargo, and Talal Al-Harigi, executive director, NTCFHM, signed the agreement at the International Tourism and Hospitality College in Riyadh. The signing ceremony was attended by TVTC Governor Ahmed Al-Fehaid, Saudia Cargo CEO Omar Talal Hariri and NTCFHM Chairman Mohammed Al-Shammary.
Trainees will study fields of cargo and logistics such as management of warehouses, equipment, handling of dangerous materials, as well as safety and security aspects and work ethics while they will be exposed to various fields of air freight for a period of six months. Trainees who complete the program will work as operations officer or freight officer at Saudia Cargo. The date of the program commencement will be announced soon.
