Bahri, an internationally recognized logistics and transportation powerhouse, has recently forged a training collaboration with the Saudi Logistics Academy (SLA), a dedicated training institution aimed at empowering young Saudi talent in various sectors such as logistics, supply chain, e-commerce, and marketing. The partnership’s goal is to bolster job opportunities and enhance professional abilities within the maritime logistics arena.
The collaboration, which spans two years, mandates that the SLA will prepare and certify a selection of Saudi individuals in a variety of disciplines for roles within Bahri’s operational divisions. The 12-month educational journey will equip participants with both practical and theoretical insights, specifically crafted to align with Bahri’s distinct job prerequisites. This initiative is pivotal not only for fostering the career trajectory of emerging professionals but also for ensuring the resilience of the logistics industry through the cultivation of a proficient national workforce, poised to spearhead innovation and uphold industry standards.
Hisham AlKhaldi, Chief Support Officer at Bahri, underscored the importance of this agreement, expressing that it springs from an ambition to enrich the company with adept young experts and to foster a more dynamic connection between national educational entities and the competitive Saudi job landscape. The intent is to craft a nourishing environment for students, recent graduates, and those in the nascent stages of their careers, who are envisioned as the future vanguards of the industry.
Dr. Abdullah Alabdulkarim, CEO of SLA, praised the alliance, noting that with an increasing presence of international competencies within the Kingdom, it is vital to provide the Saudi workforce with significant upskilling and professional growth opportunities. This is crucial for enhancing competitiveness, stimulating innovation, and promoting sustained economic advancement. SLA looks forward to this partnership with Bahri, which is set to prepare nearly a dozen Saudi individuals for prime positions within one of the Kingdom’s key industries.
Since its inception in 1978, Bahri has capitalized on its robust foundation, local talent, and technical prowess across its six principal business units, thereby becoming an integral player in Saudi Arabia’s transformation and growth within the maritime logistics sector. Committed to consolidating Saudi Arabia’s stature as a global hub for logistical services, Bahri strives to amplify the Kingdom’s global market presence.
