SESP prospectus

Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic (SESP) is a non-profit institution established in 2012. Starting its operations at Baish, Jazan Province, SESP moved its headquarters to a second campus, Juaymah Training Center, at Al Qatief in 2013. SESP’s third campus at Riyadh Training Center opened to trainees in 2014. The polytechnic was established through a partnership between Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) and the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC). SESP is charged with the training and development of young Saudi trainees for careers in Saudi Electricity Company and local industries.

SESP has, since its inception, geared its services to the power utility industry and will of course continue to do so. From 2018, SESP has stepped up research into the provision of new programs, in tune with Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Vision, ever ready to provide work- ready graduates who are able to contribute to the new directions as mapped out by the Saudi Arabian government. This inevitably involves the area of renewable and nuclear energies. SESP is in close collaboration with King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy with a view to aiding training initiatives and program development in these specific areas. Solar and wind energy are seen as a viable response to the Kingdom’s future needs in electricity production, and as a result, our programs now provide practical courses and full programs that train our future technicians in solar PV. SESP has sought collaborative partnerships and training partnerships with DNV-GL and SEI (Solar Energy International) in order to continue the very best of program development.

Another aspect of SESP’s commitment to the forging of meaningful partnerships that strengthen our country’s workforce skills is the provision of testing facilities and tests that attest to the employee’s set of skills in a particular field. This is open to companies that value the skills of certified employees and that are willing to collaborate in the professional development of their staff.
