RIYADH: The King Salman Center for Disability Research and the Technical (KSCDR) and the Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) recently signed an agreement to develop services in education and training for persons with disabilities.
Prince Sultan bin Salman, chairman of KSCDR’s board of trustees, and Dr. Ahmed bin Fahd Al-Fuhaid, TVTC governor, signed the memorandum of understanding at the KSCDR headquarters inside the Diplomatic Quarter in the Saudi capital.
The agreement with the TVTC was one of five signed by the KSCDR with various organizations, in the public and private sectors, to benefit the disabled.
“We signed five agreements. One is on vocational training,” Prince Sultan bin Salman told Arab News, in reference to the TVTC as the organization to hold training for disabled persons.
Under the agreement, the KSCDR and the TVTC will implement training courses specialized in matters related to workshops for people with disabilities, and the exchange of consultations in the training and qualification process.
The two sides will also prepare studies for the development of people with disabilities to prepare them to join the labor market.
The TVTC revealed that persons with disabilities, who have graduated from colleges and technical institutes, have a 92.7 percent employment rate in the public and private sectors.
In a statement, the TVTC said that it is keen to come up with programs to serve persons with disabilities and provide them with a suitable training environment.
The TVTC added that it is currently launching electronic training programs for people with disabilities to give them the opportunity to train in the disciplines that are best suited for them.

Saudi defense minister receives Mukalla port director, thanks him for heroic role
- Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port
RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman received the director of the Port of Mukalla Salem Basamir on Tuesday.
In a post on social media platform X, Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port.
The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen carried out a limited airstrike in December targeting foreign military support at the Port of Mukalla in the Hadramaut governorate, where calm has been restored after a period of tension.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency following the strikes, coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki said two ships coming from the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates entered the Port of Mukalla without obtaining official permits from the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition.
“The crews of the two ships disabled their tracking systems and unloaded a large quantity of weapons and combat vehicles to support the Southern Transitional Council forces in the eastern governorates of Yemen (Hadramaut and Al-Mahra) with the aim of fueling the conflict. This is a clear violation of the truce and the pursuit of a peaceful solution, as well as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2216,” said the spokesman.
