BOD Chairman’s Message

Today, I am pleased to convey to you that the Saudi Mining Polytechnic (SMP) stands tall at the pinnacle of excellence in training Saudis in the work of the mining sector in support of developing the Saudi workforce for the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. SMP strives to achieve the highest levels of excellence in its capabilities, operations and outcomes. It is worth noting that SMP’s strategy for transformation, extending over the next ten years, is based on the values ​​of quality, sustainability and social responsibility, noting that SMP has come a long way in obtaining institutional accreditation from the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC). SMP was established in 2012 as a partnership between the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) and the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden). This partnership aims to train and qualify the Saudi youth to operate current and future mines and factories. In 2018, this partnership and cooperation won the first place in the eleventh session of the Arabia CSR Awards in the Partnerships and Cooperation category. SMP campus and facilities are considered the most modern and advanced in the world in terms of their ability to provide the optimal environment for learning and development. Furthermore, SMP values ​​of safety, excellence, integrity, innovation, and teamwork aim to qualify, develop and graduate individuals with diverse experiences.
