ACWA Power and the Higher Institute for Water and Power Technologies launch the Renewable Energy and Occupational Safety Program

• First program of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that focuses on training females in the renewable energy and water fields
• First batch will include 60 female trainees in the disciplines of water and mechanical maintenance

The Renewable and Occupational Safety program is designed to provide entry-level training with employment opportunities for a period of two years, ending with the acquisition of a diploma accredited by the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC). Our program will enrol 153 male and female trainees and is part of the strategic partnership between TVTC, ACWA Power and HIWPT, to support training paths and empower national cadres for the labor market. Relying on local talents in vital sectors, such as water desalination and power generation, will have an evident positive impact on the national economy and the development of national competencies in line with Vision 2030.

The robust partnership that brings ACWA Power together with HIWPT is the backbone of this impactful program. The Renewable and Occupational Safety program will involve training 153 locals as part of the NOMAC team, including the first batch of 60 young Saudi women, and it will focus on technical disciplines such as renewable energy, mechanical and electrical maintenance, health, safety and the environment. ACWA Power welcomes trainees within our teams and we look forward to working together to develop the energy and desalination sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
