Alusteel: Trained labor is the cornerstone of the steel industry in Egypt and its orientations towards supporting the Saudi econom Description

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia seeks to strengthen the industrial sector as a fundamental pillar of the economy, adopting a clear vision aimed at achieving economic diversification and reducing dependence on oil, as it has shown great interest in developing manufacturing industries and increasing national exports. The trained skilled worker is considered one of the main factors in achieving these goals, as is the case with the Egyptian company "Alusteel for Trade and Engineering", which has succeeded in proving the importance of trained labor as a fundamental pillar for the growth and development of the industrial sector in Egypt, which can also inspire and enhance Saudi industries.

The importance of trained labor in the industrial sector

Trained and qualified labor is the cornerstone of any industrial sector, as it represents the main factor in increasing productivity and improving quality, which contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of local products in global markets. The experience of "Alusteel for Trade and Engineering" in Egypt is an example to be followed in this context, as the company has implemented intensive training programs to develop the skills of workers in the stainless steel industry, with a focus on the latest technological methods.

Lessons Learned for Saudi Industries

Vocational and Technical Training: The Kingdom recognizes the importance of preparing national workers according to the latest professional and technological standards. Saudi industries can benefit from the model adopted by "Alusteel" in Egypt to develop advanced training plans that enhance the skills of workers in the industrial sector.

Innovation and Development: Innovation is the key to success in any industry, and by motivating national workers to think innovatively and prepare them to solve problems, Saudi industries can enhance their ability to compete in global markets. The "Alusteel" experience proves that trained and qualified workers contribute to improving productivity and developing products.

Raising Efficiency and Productivity: As "Alusteel" did, Saudi companies can achieve an industrial boom by improving worker efficiency and increasing productivity, which can contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of Saudi products and expanding their share in global markets.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Saudi Labor Market

The Saudi market, like the Egyptian market, faces challenges related to qualifying trained workers and providing job opportunities that match the requirements of the industrial sector. In light of Vision 2030, the Kingdom seeks to raise the rate of job localization and increase the number of Saudis working in various sectors, including the industrial sector. Hence, the focus on continuous training of national workers comes as a pivotal step to improve performance and enhance productivity.

Proposed strategies for Saudi industries

Establishing specialized training centers: Specialized training centers can play an important role in preparing and qualifying national cadres according to the highest professional standards, which contributes to providing the trained and qualified workers needed by Saudi industries.

Developing international partnerships: Saudi industries can benefit from international partnerships with leading companies, such as "Alusteel", to transfer expertise and knowledge, and enhance innovation in the industrial sector.

Encouraging field training: Saudi companies should be encouraged to adopt field training as an effective means of preparing and qualifying national cadres, in line with the requirements of the local and global labor market.

Towards achieving Vision 2030

The Kingdom's Vision 2030 is a strategic guide to directing economic and social development, and it includes clear goals to enhance the industrial sector by investing in vocational education and training, encouraging innovation, and increasing competitiveness in global markets. Benefiting from global experiences, such as the experience of "Alusteel" in Egypt, can have a significant impact in achieving these goals.

Benefiting from international expertise

By learning from the successful experiences of international companies, such as "Alusteel", Saudi industries can achieve qualitative leaps in improving production efficiency and increasing product quality. The Kingdom must benefit from these experiences to enhance its competitiveness in the global market.

Conclusion

Achieving progress in the Saudi industrial sector requires concerted efforts between the public and private sectors, and adopting international best practices to develop and qualify national labor to meet the challenges of the labor market. Investing in trained labor is an investment in the future, and is the key to achieving sustainable development and economic growth that the Kingdom aspires to according to Vision 2030.
