Red Sea Global announced in a press release issued today the signing of three new educational agreements as part of the fifth edition of the Red Sea Vocational Training Program, which leads to employment in collaboration with the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF).
The release said these partnerships, signed with the University of Prince Mugrin, the Higher Institute for Paper and Industrial Technologies, and Batterjee Medical Colleges, come at a time when work is accelerating at The Red Sea and AMAALA destinations, requiring the qualification of highly skilled Saudi talents to operate and manage the companies’ assets in accordance with the highest international standards.
The initiative also contributes to achieving the objectives of the Human Capability Development Program, one of the pillars of Saudi Vision 2030.
So far, five hotels have opened at The Red Sea destination along with supporting infrastructure.
Last month, Red Sea Global announced the upcoming opening of Shura Island, which will feature 11 hotels, residential units, fine dining, and retail experiences. Meanwhile, work is progressing rapidly at the AMAALA destination in preparation for its expected opening later this year.
Red Sea Global Chief Administrative Officer and Spokesperson Eng. Ahmed Ghazi Darwish said: "We are not just building tourist destinations; we are building a bright future for the sons and daughters of our nation.
Signing these agreements with distinguished partners marks another milestone in our journey to empower a generation of Saudi professionals—not only by providing jobs, but by nurturing ambassadors of authentic Saudi hospitality blended with world-class standards."
According to the release, the partnership with the University of Prince Mugrin will train 180 students for diplomas in luxury hospitality, through two tracks: culinary arts and food and beverage services. "This forms the cornerstone of delivering exceptional guest experiences and solidifying the destinations’ positions on the global luxury tourism map," said the release.
The release added that the collaboration with the Higher Institute for Paper and Industrial Technologies, the first of its kind, will train another 180 students in technical services (electrical and mechanical), providing qualified professionals capable of operating and maintaining the advanced and sustainable infrastructure of the destinations, which rely on the latest technologies to achieve Red Sea Global’s ambitious environmental goals.
