Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — Saudi Human Resources Development Fund (HADAF) and Lucid Motors signed a memorandum of cooperation to train 1,000 Saudis in the electric vehicle (EV) industry.

The cooperation framework will support training of 1,000 citizens to work at specialty and vocational jobs at the company and training them in the USA, prior to be enrolled at work upon the launch of the factory at the King Abdullah Economic City.

Cooperation aspects include enhancing employment and training opportunities through benefiting from support and training enablers, for example through holding periodic job meetings to enhance localization in sectors that serve Lucid.

This is in addition to considering professions and training needs to offer suitable support solutions and boost training opportunities while working in a way that contributes to increasing competitiveness skills and relevant expertise among national personnel.

The two sides also agreed to form a joint action team to follow up on work progress and targets and measure impacts from time to time.
