Who we are?
The concept of establishing the institute was initiated by His Excellency Eng. Ali bin Ibrahim Al Nuaimi, former Minister of Energy. The objective was to create a training center dedicated to serving the energy sector in the Kingdom, with a focus on cultivating qualified and skilled Saudi youth. This initiative seeks to significantly reduce dependence on foreign labor while contributing to the development of society and enhancing social programs. Furthermore, it will provide guaranteed employment opportunities for Saudi youth who enroll in the institute.
EnergyTech (formerly known as SPSP) was established in 2008 to fulfill the Energy Sector’s needs and support industry Saudization in the Kingdom. It was founded by the Ministry of Energy, the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC), Saudi Arabian Chevron, Saudi Aramco, and Aramco Gulf Operations. EnergyTech is an independent non-profit entity governed by a Board of Trustees representing the institution’s significant stakeholders.
The Energy Sector consists of several contracting companies that service the industry through energy exploration, drilling, and production facilities in the energy fields throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These contractors work with major energy companies, such as Saudi Aramco and Saudi Arabian Chevron.
The industry relies heavily on expatriate workers while offering significant job opportunities for well-trained and qualified young Saudis. EnergyTech is equipped to provide comprehensive training necessary to meet the Saudization requirements of the energy sector. Several leading international energy contractors in Saudi Arabia support EnergyTech, and its Board of Trustees represents many of these key stakeholders.
EnergyTech also receives full support from the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF).
This collaboration has facilitated the development of several industry-specific training programs delivered exclusively at EnergyTech. Graduating young Saudi professionals will enter the workforce fully competent and prepared to fill a range of highly skilled technical positions within the energy sector.
