About the Academy

Based on its awareness of the importance of training and developing its human resources, the Saline Water Conversion Corporation in 1982 established and established a training center for the Corporation’s employees in both Jubail and Jeddah. Since then, the Corporation’s training process began and the development of its resources keeps pace with the latest training methods, systems and methodologies in the field of the desalination industry. Giving and growth in this aspect continued for decades, amounting to 40 years - by the grace of God - with qualitative outcomes attested to by the labor market in the institution and outside it in the public and private sectors.​

In the years (2010-2011), the center began providing training services to employees of other sectors from outside the institution after the approval of the institution’s Board of Directors for the investment operation of the center within the framework of the commercial transformation project for the center’s work, as it attracted many clients in the government and private sectors, from inside and outside the Kingdom.​

In the year (2019), the name was changed from the training center to the “Saudi Water Academy” and its visual identity was developed, thus opening broader horizons of training, improving training services, spreading globally, and disseminating knowledge in accordance with an ambitious vision aimed at enhancing the sustainability of water production. The academy aspires to provide an educational and training experience. Integrated, in accordance with modern learning methodologies and techniques, compatible with the current objectives, requirements and training needs of the labor market, with the aim of upgrading and caring for the human resource and preparing it for the labor market as one of the most important goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.​
