Red Sea Global and Oracle Launch Saudi Digital Skills Programme
Red Sea Global (RSG) has partnered with technology giant Oracle to launch a training programme aimed at equipping 5,000 Saudi citizens with digital skills over the next six months.
The initiative is part of Oracle’s broader commitment to training 50,000 people across Saudi Arabia, while also aligning with RSG’s efforts to develop local talent and support economic growth through its regenerative tourism model.
According to a statement from RSG, the programme will be delivered through Oracle University via the Mostaqbali learning platform. The free training scheme is designed to help participants develop the IT skills needed for high-demand roles in technology and hospitality. As Oracle’s systems are widely used in the hotel and resort industry, the initiative is expected to boost employment prospects within RSG’s expanding luxury tourism portfolio.
Sultan Moraished, Group Head of Technology and Corporate Excellence at RSG, said: “This initiative forms part of our commitment to support the growth and development of young Saudi talent across the Kingdom and help them achieve their potential. The program builds upon our existing training initiatives through which young Saudis have been offered employment with RSG and our partners.”
He added: “By equipping young Saudis with technical skills through a program run by a global technology leader, we believe that we can create a strong pool of qualified candidates for the hospitality sector within the Kingdom, aligning with the overarching objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.”
Reham AlMusa, Oracle’s Vice President for Business Applications, Public Sector, and Managing Director, said: “Oracle is committed to supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by empowering local talent with the skills needed for the Kingdom’s rapidly growing digital economy. Our collaboration with RSG will help create a strong local talent pipeline that is geared for the needs of Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing hospitality industry.”
The programme will cover various Oracle solutions, including enterprise applications and cloud infrastructure services. Participants will gain hands-on experience through educational modules, preparing them for careers within RSG’s hotels and resorts.
