Saudi Arabia graduates 69 scholars from industrial sector scholarship program

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources celebrated the graduation of 69 scholars from the industrial sector. These graduates completed employment-oriented programs under the "Waed" track of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Scholarship Program.

The "Waed" track is designed to bridge the gap between educational outcomes and labor market demands. It represents a strategic partnership between the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Education, and the private sector. The initiative aims to cultivate a national workforce equipped with the skills needed for industrial transformation, supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

During the ceremony, the ministry also formalized new partnerships by signing eight agreements with national companies. These agreements are set to create 221 job opportunities through the "Waed" program. This expansion is intended to attract and qualify national talent, thereby increasing private sector involvement in developing human capabilities and enhancing the efficiency of the industrial and mining sectors.
