Pinehill Arabia Food Ltd.’s ‘Indomie’ announced that it has recently trained another 100 females in Saudi Arabia who undertook an intensive training program to become part of the capable hands of Indomie’s finest national experts.
The training consisted in a one 6-month session followed by another 3-month session which included courses in English, computer and work ethics. Successful completion of both training sessions qualified 100 of the trainees who were enrolled into the factories as full-time employees.
To highlight this aspect of Indomie’s commitment towards its nation, Abdulgader Bawazir, PR Director at Indomie, said “at Indomie, Saudization is a priority which we take very seriously. As a result, our employment initiative was born.”
“In fact, 400 new Saudis, both male and female have been employed so far which not only meets but greatly satisfies the requirements of the Ministry of Labor,” he added.
An employee, Ohoud Abdullah Al Sibai, in the production department of an Indomie factory in Dammam was one such trainee and said: “The caliber of training was better than I expected and I have consequently entered the workforce in Indomie’s factory. I would recommend this program to any woman wanting to work in food production.”
Rana Mohammed Mejarshi agreed with Ohoud adding “our intensive English language courses helped us a lot on the factory floor.”
Indomie has been able over the last 25 years to achieve great goals and expand its business across the Kingdom.
