As Part of its Commitment to Empower The National Workforce SABIC Renews Ties With HIPF to Train Saudis

SABIC signed an agreement to renew cooperation with the Higher Institute of Plastic Fabrication (HIPF) to train Saudis in the field of plastic manufacturing. 

The agreement was signed on Monday during a graduation ceremony of the trainees at the Institute's headquarters in the Second Industrial City in Riyadh.

HIPF will provide a two-year vocational training program (an average of two training semesters per year) to 300 high school graduates in each training semester during the term of the agreement. The program focuses on developing skills and capabilities necessary for plastic industries under the supervision of Japanese experts.

The agreement reaffirms SABIC's continued commitment to supporting the national workforce and developing local content to enhance the current and future opportunities in the industry locally. It will help create job opportunities, promote innovation and advance industrial production to achieve the goals of Vision 2030.

Over the past three years, the agreement helped create 637 job opportunities for national competencies out of 900 jobs supported by SABIC in 43 local companies through the Training-Based Employment program implemented by the HIPF.
