Saudi Aramco and its People: A History of Training
Saudi Aramco and its People: A History of Training traces the history of training and human resource development at Saudi Aramco. In little more than a generation, the sons of Saudi herdsmen, farmers and fishermen became the geologists, engineers, technicians and managers of an international company of more than 50,000 employees and the largest supplier of crude oil and petroleum products in the world.
In the 1930s, the government of Saudi Arabia granted a concession to an American company to search for and develop the Kingdom's oil resources. To create an oil industry where no modern industry had existed before required importing both technology and the knowledge of how to use that technology. The company set out to train a work force in which Saudis would one day assume a leadership role.
Published in 1998, Saudi Aramco and its People is the story of what some consider to be the largest industrial training program run by a private company in history.
