JAKARTA - Saudi Arabia is slowly continuing to provide opportunities for women to do activities and do work that was previously only for men.
Most recently, Saudi Arabia is celebrating the achievements of the country's women who will soon drive the bullet train, after completing their first phase of education in 2022.
The Saudi Railway (SAR) rail company released a video of 32 graduates from the first training phase to coincide with the New Year on January 1.
The success of the 32 women participating in the education made them on track to become the first woman to drive the SAR train.
The government of Saudi Arabia hopes that their achievements will inspire and empower other women to pursue careers in the field of rail transportation and others.
"Today, we are recording new steps in terms of localizing women's competence and empowerment in our startup sector," said Saudi Arabia's Minister of Transportation and Logistics Services Saleh Al Jasser, The National News January 2.
Education participants completed more than 480 hours of material in various fields including theory, work hazards, traffic and safety regulations, and other technical aspects. The first stage was completed last August.
After one year of education, the women will drive the bullet train on the 453 km Haramain high-speed line between the two Holy Citys, Makkah and Medina.
Menteri Al Jasser mengatakan, wanita dalam angkatan kerja sangat penting bagi negara, dan bahwa dalam beberapa bulan mendatang, wanita Arab Saudi yang sangat terlatih dan berkualitas akan membendar train antara kota-kota suci.
It is known, apart from job opportunities for women, the transportation sector is also trying to increase the proportion of Saudi Arabia's population in the workforce.
In the aviation industry, pilot recruitment and air traffic control have been localized. In addition, eighteen other jobs in the transportation sector will be localized this year.
