Introduction:
Technical & Vocational Education: Technical and Vocational Education is a vital and
extremely important part of the Saudi educational system. Upgrading technical and
vocational education improves workplace skills, increases productivity, and enables the
nation to keep pace with changing technological developments. TVTC Technical and
Vocational Training Corporation is established in 14/06/1980 and it is responsible to
train the students according to the market needs.
On Saturday, Safar 13th 1428H corresponding to March 3rd 2007, an agreement
between the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) and the
businessmen participating in the Saudi Electronics and Home Appliances Institute
( SEHAI) was executed and signed.
Also, on Monday, Safar 7th 1430H, corresponding to February 2nd 2009, a technical
cooperation agreement was signed in Tokyo with the Japanese party to design the
institute`s curriculum and programs, as well as its equipment, instruments and
laboratories; and providing Japanese experts and instructors training in Japan. SEHAI
started the operation on 01 September 2009.
Electronics and home appliances play an important role in the national economy and in
creating new technical job opportunities in the field of electronics, office equipment,
home appliances and air conditions industries. The idea of establishing a non-profit
specialized electronics and home appliances institute was to qualify the Saudi youth
and provide them with technical skills. Saudi businessmen managing the electronics
and home appliance sectors agreed to establish the Saudi Electronics and Home
Appliances Institute (SEHAI) to provide high technical training for Saudi youth in the
field of electronic technology, air conditions, and home appliances and maintenance.
The businessmen obliged themselves to provide job opportunities for the graduates as
technicians in the fields of electronics, air-conditioners, and home appliances all over
the Kingdom upon their graduation.(104)

the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Japanese External Trade
Organization (JETRO) to make use of the Japanese curriculum. Accordingly, a memorandum of
understanding was entered between the Saudi and Japanese parties through which Japan

The best thing they do monthly to give the trainees reward during they study and it is
from the company which contract with the trainees and the company give prams to the
trainees to give him more reward when he graduate and he will start working for the
company, but if any trainees doesnt following the law of company for example, when
the trainee graduate and he decide to change the company which contract with the
company will spend money to open the contract, but no one did it because it is good for
the trainees.
The government spend much money to improve the Sehai and the government so
serious to graduate the trainees
. Sehai brought all trainer from other country so all trainer forge but they said it is good
for the trainees because the forge trainer has more experience then Saudis trainer.

The Japanese trainers have made the curriculum and design the institute also they have made
some roles and some penalties for the trainees, and they design the laboratories and technical
workshops, so they seem so perfect for the trainees, therefore they identify the equipment and
device and laboratories who work on the trainees. In addition, the technical support had been
provided by Japanese working group, as well as the institute provides training for their trainers
in Japan. (214,220)
