Red Sea Global (RSG) and Oracle have entered into a new collaboration in order to train 5,000 citizens in the next six months.
The initiative complements Oracle’s goal to train 50,000 people in the Kingdom. The program also highlights Red Sea Global’s commitment to empowering local communities and nurturing Saudi talent through its regenerative approach.
According to a press release issued by RSG, the training program will educate and upskill local people through Oracle’s Mostaqbali learning platform, delivered through Oracle University.
It is a free educational initiative that helps Saudi citizens gain the information technology (IT) skills needed for the most in-demand, technologically enabled jobs. As Oracle technologies are integral to hotels and resorts at RSG destinations, the program will also help students increase their chances of securing employment across Red Sea Global’s growing portfolio of luxury tourism destinations.

“This initiative forms part of our commitment to support the growth and development of young Saudi talent across the Kingdom and help them achieve their potential. The program builds upon our existing training initiatives through which young Saudis have been offered employment with RSG and our partners. By equipping young Saudis with technical skills through a program run by a global technology leader, we believe that we can create a strong pool of qualified candidates for the hospitality sector within the Kingdom, aligning with the overarching objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.”
Oracle Vice President for Business Applications, Public Sector, and Managing Director Reham AlMusa said that, “Oracle is committed to supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by empowering local talent with the skills needed for the Kingdom’s rapidly growing digital economy. Our collaboration with RSG will help create a strong local talent pipeline that is geared for the needs of Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing hospitality industry.”
According to the statement, the training program will cover a range of Oracle solutions including enterprise applications and cloud infrastructure services. Participants will gain practical experience through various educational modules, preparing them for roles within RSG’s hotels.
