Yazid al-Shammari has ambitions to land a job at Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) when he finishes a two-year vocational training course. Asked what he expects as a starting salary, he names a figure that’s many times what foreign workers doing similar jobs earn now.
“I want to earn 10,000 riyals ($2,700) a month with my diploma,” the 21-year-old said, as he attended lessons with a crowd of fellow students at the Higher Institute for Plastics Fabrications in Riyadh. “The training will help me get a job where I want.”
