HIWPT is a vocational training institute located in Saudi Arabia that trains young Saudis to work as operators and technicians in the fields of water desalination and power technologies to address the growing needs to Saudi talents required to operate and drive the industry. The initiative also endorses local employment by successfully securing employment for all trainees. HIWPT trainees will be present at ACWA Power’s stand at WETEX 2018 to dialogue and share young and innovative ideas with the participants.
