The National Academy for Military Industries has announced the opening of admissions for its pioneering "Employment-Starting Training" program, targeting Saudi high school graduates. Applications are being accepted starting today, Monday, and will remain open until January 8 , 2026. This strategic initiative aims to inject new talent into the military industries sector.
A key pillar for achieving the Kingdom's Vision 2030
This announcement comes within the context of a comprehensive national movement led by the Kingdom to localize military industries, a key objective of Vision 2030. The Kingdom aims to localize more than 50% of government military spending by 2030. The academy plays a pivotal role in this strategy, as industrial and technological localization cannot be achieved without a qualified workforce capable of handling, managing, and developing advanced military technologies locally.
Training national cadres according to international standards
The academy is one of the strategic initiatives of the General Authority for Military Industries, and its programs are designed to bridge the gap between educational outcomes and the specific needs of the military labor market. The training programs focus on technical, engineering, and scientific fields, employing curricula that meet international standards. This intensive training aims to empower young Saudis to lead production lines, maintain defense systems, and participate in research and development, thereby enhancing the sector's efficiency and sustainability.
Strengthening strategic and security independence
The academy affirmed in its statement that the ultimate goal of these programs extends beyond mere employment; it contributes to bolstering the Kingdom's strategic independence . By localizing technologies and transferring knowledge, national talent strengthens military supply chains and reduces reliance on foreign imports in this vital and sensitive sector. This approach not only serves national security but also contributes to diversifying the national economy and creating high-quality, value-added job opportunities.
An invitation to join and build the future
In closing, the academy reiterated its invitation to all high school graduates aspiring to build a promising career to apply promptly through its dedicated online admissions portal. The program is distinguished by its combination of theoretical study and practical application, along with guaranteed employment upon graduation through partnerships with leading government agencies and private companies in the military manufacturing sector. This provides participants with job security and a clear career path that serves the nation's best interests.
