Saudi Aramco has revealed plans to focus its oil training efforts on the international language of the utilities sector by helping its workforce to communicate more effectively in English.

Nabeel Al-Jama', general manager of training and career development for Saudi Aramco, explains the importance of English to the sector.

"We are a global energy company," the spokesperson asserts.

"And fluency in English, the language of the oil and gas industry, is essential for communication within the company and with our business partners."

Saudi Aramco is now looking to provide oil training in English to thousands of employees worldwide through a multiyear contract with GlobalEnglish.

The training provider works with multinational companies around the world to help them conduct business both internally and externally in English.

In this way, the company explains that it can help firms to establish globalised operations and take advantage of the benefits that arise as a result.
