GTHIA Group PJSC , one of the region’s leading food and beverage companies, celebrated the graduation of 24 Saudi employees from its National Talent Integration Program (NTIP) at the Agthia Academy, an in-house employee development and training center, as part of the Group’s drive to ensure a highly capable and sustainable local workforce.

Launched in the Kingdom at the beginning of 2018 as part of the Group’s training and development initiative TATWEER, NTIP was designed to facilitate the integration of national talents into Agthia’s corporate culture by providing them with skills, capabilities and knowhow to excel in their future careers. The NTIP includes five intensive modules introducing concepts such as performance by objectives, value of common purpose and teamwork in addition to basic financial terminology and communication skills to name a few.

On the occasion, Rashed Hamad Al Dhaheri, Agthia Vice Chairman, said “Agthia has over the years demonstrated its commitment towards developing national talent in the UAE and has built a successful track record in this regard that we are now proudly replicating amongst Saudi youth in the Kingdom. Agthia believes that developing its employees across all locations and within all operations, is key to a sustainable, successful and robust organization. Today, we are proud to see 24 of our Saudi employees complete this integrated training program as they gear up to become future leaders.” — SG
