RIYADH — The General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) launched on Sunday the Human Capital Strategy for the local military industries sector.

The strategy aims to build an ecosystem for incentivizing cultivation of human capital, constructed on the basis of the localization strategy for military industry and research in the defense sector, as well as assuring the readiness of qualified human capital to achieve the targets of the defense sector as a whole.

GAMI will develop training and educational programs, as well as other policy, guidance and counseling programs with the relevant authorities to achieve the comprehensive development requirements.

This will also contribute to developing the necessary knowledge and capabilities in relevant fields and specializations related to the military and defense industries, in line with Vision 2030.

The strategic focus of the Strategy lies in partnerships between the public and private sectors and enablement of the research sector.

Through this focus, educational and training outcomes will be harmonized and aligned with human capital needs of local manufacturing companies and research institutes. — SG
