GEC NEWS WIREEmerson Automation Solutions has started their Beginners Integration Training Program this month, recruiting 15 Saudi nationals who have recently graduated from top universities and institutes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States. The recruitment and training program, which is consistent with Emerson’s global commitment to invest in local resourcing and communities where its customers are, is planned to be conducted annually with a minimum of 15 graduates who will be hired to full-time positions with the company each year.
The newly recruited graduates will occupy technical and non-technical positions. This recruitment and training program reflects Emerson’s continued commitment to invest and further economic development within the region. It is designed to support the In-Kingdom Total Value Add program by driving localization and job creation in the region through the development of local talent. Emerson’s BIT program will also aid in managing and staffing projects locally in the Kingdom, allowing faster project completions.
The training, allowing the participants to be exposed to the various operations involved with Systems and Solutions through several courses, is expected to be completed within less than a year. Performance of participants will be measured through progress reports, training examinations, and program milestone reviews. The first group of new hires for Emerson’s Beginners Integration Training Program started during the first week of July.
Liam Hurley, General Manager of Emerson Automation Solutions in Saudi Arabia, stated, “I am very excited about Emerson’s future in Saudi Arabia having this team on-board and look forward now to seeing how the group grows and develops throughout the program”.
