Saudi youth Constant training, research and field work at Saudi Aramco installations have provided abundant opportunities for Saudi youth in oil related fields, according to a research report of the company.

''Its rare combination of native talent and the steady transfer of technology serves today, as it has in the past, to keep Saudi Aramco's competitive edge well-honed,'' said the report.

Saudi Aramco's technology department and laboratories have kept pace with intensive field training in testing and advanced data management programs today.

''Moving quickly to assimilate its new manpower, Saudi Aramco has engaged its full management expertise and resources to make itself a strong commercial entity with the help of indigenous talents,'' it added.

Helping to make that possible is the company's renowned training and human resource development programme. Saudi Aramco recognised early in its history that the key to sustained progress was a workforce educated and trained for greater responsibility.

Saudi Aramco offers young Saudis opportunities for education, career placement and specialised training in diverse occupations.

The company's manifold training programme, for example, extends from the laboratory to the workshop.
