In the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil-rich Abqaiq, a unique partnership is shaping the next generation of energy professionals. Sinopec, the Chinese mainland's energy giant, opened its first overseas training center here—and it's already transformed over 50,000 Saudi lives, particularly young workers like Mohsen, an assistant driller.
'Before joining Sinopec's program, I felt stuck,' Mohsen admits. 'But their hands-on courses taught me everything from drilling safety to advanced tech. Now I’m leading projects!' His story isn’t unique: the center blends classroom learning with real-world rig simulations, preparing Saudis for high-demand roles in the energy sector.
Why does this matter? As Saudi Arabia pushes its Vision 2030 goals to diversify its economy, partnerships like this bridge skills gaps while fostering global connections. For Sinopec, it’s a win-win—investing in local talent while strengthening cross-border ties.
Looking ahead, the center plans to expand its AI and green energy curricula. As Mohsen puts it: 'We’re not just drilling wells—we’re building futures.'
