Successful completion of the curricula will be a basic requirement for employment with Bahri
Bahri recently announced the inking of a training services agreement with the National Maritime Academy (NMA) to train and upskill the Saudi youth in the maritime sector. The agreement further consolidates Bahri’s prominent role in local talent development in line with the Saudi Vision 2030.
The agreement was sealed in Bahri’s headquarters in Riyadh by Bahri CEO Eng. Abdullah Aldubaikhi and NMA Managing Director Capt. Turki Alshihri, in the presence of officials from both parties.
“The cooperation with NMA was driven by the academy’s experience in the field of human resources development,” commented Eng. Aldubaikhi, noting that this extensive experience allows for providing training programs that guarantee achieving remarkable results that meet Bahri’s expectations.
“NMA offers fully integrated advanced and well-proven training programmes that bridge the gap in skills in the maritime sector and prepare highly qualified ‘job-ready’ talent pool,” noted Capt. Alshihri.
Under the agreement, NMA will provide the training programs in its training facility in Al Jubail, or any other NMA’s approved academy / training institute in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The successful completion of the programmes will be a basic requirement for the employment contract between Bahri and the trainees.
The training programmes of NMA, a non-profit national training academy, are supported by the Saudi Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) and approved by the Transport General Authority (TGA) and UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
