Saudi Aramco started a summer program called “Tomooh” which is an intensive program that targets high achieving secondary school students. The Tomooh program focuses on Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) subjects like Math, Physics, & Chemistry, International English Language Testing System (IELTS), and 21st century soft skills and character building along with an Introductory to Saudi Aramco’s core business. The objective of the program is to develop and refine high caliber potential students’ skills and abilities to meet admission requirements for the top 30 universities in the world while in high school. The program will constitute a learning path that would yield a continuous flow of young talents to join Saudi Aramco’s workforce.

In line with SPSP’s partnership with Saudi Aramco Drilling & Workover (D&WO) organization, a group of 100 students that are enrolled in the “Tomooh” summer program visited SPSP’s Dammam premises for an orientation on the Training Rig and the Blowout Prevention (BOP) simulation and for a tour in the facilities.

The visit which took place on July 18, 2019, started with a welcoming reception by SPSP management followed by a safety orientation presentation delivered by SPSP Safety Advisor. After the orientation, the students were given Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to wear for their safety before visiting the training rig. The students were divided into smaller groups to facilitate their tour.
