Registration at the National Military Industries Academy: Training leading to employment
The National Academy for Military Industries announced the opening of admissions and registration for the "Employment-Starting Training" program, with applications being accepted from Monday until January 8, 2026. This step comes as part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at attracting and qualifying young national talents to join the promising military industries sector, which directly contributes to achieving the localization targets stipulated in the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
An ambitious national context and a future vision
This announcement is not just a routine training opportunity; it comes within the context of a historic transformation underway in the Saudi Arabian defense sector. Since the launch of Vision 2030, the wise leadership has set a strategic goal of localizing more than 50% of the Kingdom's military spending by 2030. To achieve this ambitious goal, the focus has shifted from simply importing equipment to building a robust local industrial base, which necessarily requires a qualified workforce capable of leading, operating, and developing these industries.
The role of the academy in empowering competencies
The National Academy for Military Industries is one of the most prominent initiatives launched by the General Authority for Military Industries to empower the workforce in this vital sector. The Academy serves as a strategic link between educational outcomes and the needs of the military labor market, focusing its programs on training in technical, engineering, and precise scientific fields related to defense industries. These programs aim to build a generation of young Saudis capable of working with the latest global military technologies, thus contributing to the development of an advanced and sustainable local military industries sector.
Strategic and economic importance
The academy affirmed that its training programs are designed to support the Kingdom's independence in this vital sector and enhance national security through self-sufficiency in maintenance, manufacturing, and supply chains. The significance of this event lies in its anticipated impact on the national economy, contributing to knowledge transfer and the localization of advanced technologies, as well as creating quality job opportunities for Saudi youth. This, in turn, strengthens the local economy and reduces reliance on foreign expertise in sensitive fields.
An invitation to join and build the future
In closing, the academy invited high school graduates to seize this opportunity and apply through its online admissions portal. The program is distinguished by its combination of vocational training according to the highest international standards and guaranteed job opportunities through partnerships with leading government agencies and private companies operating in the sector, thus ensuring a promising and stable career path for participants, enabling them to contribute to the advancement of their nation.
