Registration at the National Military Industries Academy: Training leading to employment

The National Academy for Military Industries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced the opening of admission and registration for the “Employment-Started Training” program, with applications being accepted through the electronic portal until January 8, as part of its ongoing efforts to attract young national talents and qualify them to work in this vital sector.

This announcement comes as part of a comprehensive strategic plan aimed at supplying the military industries sector with qualified human resources, in line with the ambitious localization targets set by the Kingdom.

A key pillar of the Kingdom's Vision 2030

This program is not merely a routine training opportunity; it is a pivotal link in achieving the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which prioritizes the localization of military industries. Through the General Authority for Military Industries, the Kingdom aims to localize more than 50% of government military spending by 2030. To achieve this strategic objective, there is a pressing need to build a national workforce possessing the necessary technical and engineering skills to operate, manage, and develop defense systems locally.

The role of academy in promoting strategic independence

The National Academy for Military Industries is one of the most important initiatives launched by the General Authority for Military Industries to empower the workforce. The academy works to bridge the gap between educational outcomes and the specific needs of the military labor market by providing training programs that meet international standards.

These programs contribute directly to:

• Knowledge transfer and technology localization: Saudi youth are trained on the latest technologies used in military manufacturing.
• Strengthening supply chains: Ensuring the presence of competent personnel capable of managing and maintaining production lines and supply chains related to the sector.
• Supporting decision-making independence: Possessing national human capabilities enhances the Kingdom’s independence in this sensitive sector and reduces reliance on foreign expertise.

Training paths and career prospects

The academy invites high school graduates to seize this opportunity and apply through the unified admissions portal. The program is unique in that it combines academic and professional training with job security; trainees are employed by one of the strategic companies operating in the public or private sector immediately upon acceptance, thus providing them with job stability and a clear career path.

The training programs cover vital areas including technical, mechanical, electrical and electronic disciplines related to defense industries, opening up broad horizons for Saudi youth to contribute to protecting the nation’s resources and building its industrial future.
