Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, has reached a landmark milestone with the graduation of more than 1,000 young Saudis from its diverse training and educational programmes — all built under the RSG Education Framework, a first-of-its-kind national model designed to prepare the Kingdom’s future leaders in hospitality, tourism, and regenerative development.
The RSG Education Framework
is an integrated and scalable model that blends global academic excellence with
Saudi cultural identity and real-world employability. The framework provides a
2.5-year learning pathway, guiding students from English foundations to
internationally accredited vocational programmes, hands-on internships, and
guaranteed employment across RSG destinations.
“At Red Sea Global, we believe true
transformation begins with people, that’s why we’ve built a holistic Education
Framework that goes beyond traditional training. It equips young Saudis not
just with technical expertise, but with purpose, confidence, and global
perspective. As we celebrate more than 1,000 graduates, we’re not only
witnessing individual success stories — we’re witnessing the rise of a new
generation ready to lead the Kingdom’s transformation journey and deliver on
Saudi Vision 2030.” said Ahmad Ghazi Darwish, Group Chief Administrative
Officer, Red Sea Global
The framework is powered by
strong partnerships with Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF), Technical and
Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC), and various industry partners, ensuring
that its outcomes directly support national Saudisation targets and global
quality benchmarks.
“Our partnership with Red Sea
Global is a strong example of how the public and private sectors can work hand
in hand to deliver on Vision 2030,” Turki Aljawini, Director General at the
HRDF. “By investing in young Saudis through structured training, real-world
internships, and guaranteed career pathways, we are shaping the national
workforce of tomorrow.”
Additionally, RSG’s
collaboration with global hotel operators and culinary institutions such as
Bunyan Academy ensures that graduates are not only locally competitive but
globally employable, blending Saudi authenticity with international excellence.
“By
combining world-class academic excellence with hands-on experience and
guaranteed career pathways, we are empowering young Saudis to move confidently
from the classroom to the world stage. Each of our 1,000 graduates represents
the future of Saudi hospitality — skilled, inspired, and ready to shape a
regenerative and globally competitive sector.” Fadi Alaseri, Senior Director,
Education and Capability Building
The RSG Education Framework
now stands as a blueprint for national collaboration, inviting public and
private entities to co-design programmes, share expertise, and replicate this
integrated learning model across Saudi Arabia. By embedding education within
its regenerative development mission, RSG is not only building destinations; it
is building generations capable of sustaining them.
The Red Sea destination
welcomed its first guests in 2023. It now has five resorts open, with another
11 hotels launching over the coming months. Once complete, The Red Sea
destination will comprise 50 resorts, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more
than 1,000 residential units across 22 islands and six inland sites. It will
also feature luxury marinas, championship golf courses, a diverse range of
dining options, and world-class entertainment facilities.
AMAALA is set to welcome its first guests later this year with the ambitious goal of becoming the world’s most comprehensive health and wellness destination. Launching with 1,470 hotel keys across eight luxury resorts, it will host some of the most renowned wellness operators globally, offering a wide array of programmes tailored to diverse lifestyles and well-being needs. -TradeArabia News Service
