Larsen & Toubro inducts 13 graduates in Saudi Arabia

Larsen & Toubro Saudi Arabia LLC (LTSA), a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T), recently inducted 13 Saudi engineering graduates as a part of its Graduate Engineer Training (GET) program.

The first batch of 15 Saudis was absorbed last year by the company, the firm said in a statement.

The initiative is driven by the Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business vertical of L&T’s construction arm.  

The initiative is designed in deference to other countrywide initiatives like Saudization, aimed to provide more employment opportunities to nationals and integral to Saudi Vision 2030 and In-Kingdom Total Value Add Program (IKTVA), an initiative by Saudi Aramco to support increased levels of domestic value creation and thereby create quality jobs for Saudis.

“As we lead the expansion of our business into new geographies, one of the main reasons for our success has been the way we have integrated local talent into our ranks,” T Madhavadas, Senior Vice President and Head – Power Transmission & Distribution at L&T, said.

“The GET Induction program is a vital part of that strategy and we hope that as we move forward, there will be greater infusion of Saudi talent into our workforce as we together work towards the overall development of the Kingdom,” he added.
