HUMAIN Plus represents a new applied education initiative launched by HUMAIN to build workforce capabilities across the region. The entity, owned by the Public Investment Fund, inaugurated the dedicated facility at its headquarters in Majdoul Tower in Riyadh. The initiative focuses on moving beyond theoretical concepts toward building operational prototypes for workplace challenges.
Operational Structure of HUMAIN Plus
The training center accommodates approximately 1,500 learner places annually and features GPU-backed Builder Labs alongside dedicated spaces for project demonstrations. Learners work with the company’s proprietary platforms, foundation models, and computing infrastructure. Self-paced digital learning modules also incorporate a specialized tutor powered by ALLAM.
Four specific learning tracks address executives, non-technical personnel, technical developers, and students. Programs cover topics including governance, infrastructure management, productivity tools, and agentic systems. Furthermore, sector-specific labs link educational tasks directly to practical scenarios in healthcare, finance, government operations, energy, and logistics.
“In the age of AI, one of the most important investments we can make is in people and the skills they will need for the future. Technology will continue to evolve at an extraordinary pace, and we have a responsibility to ensure that people have the practical knowledge, experience and confidence to evolve with it.”
Tareq Amin, Chief Executive Officer of HUMAIN
Focus on Practical Application and Competency
Rather than relying on attendance metrics alone, the institution evaluates participants through working prototypes and tangible project outputs. Learners progress through structured phases that begin with identifying institutional operational bottlenecks, followed by testing prototypes and validating real results in simulated environments.
Mubashir Malik, Head of HUMAIN Academy, explained that programs focus directly on what participants can construct and deploy upon completing their training. In addition, the organization works alongside international technology vendors and academic institutions to integrate active workplace software into each educational track.
Interactive Video Streaming Integration
The center also incorporates immersive streaming formats through an agreement with tech company VUZ. The partnership introduces patented 360-degree video technology to deliver complex technical demonstrations directly to participants through experiential digital formats.
Following an initial demonstration during the opening ceremony, the interactive streaming capability is scheduled to roll out to participants next month. Khaled Zaatarah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of VUZ, stated that the partnership applies spatial video formats directly to technical training environments.
Future Operations and Regional Rollout
The new Riyadh facility is scheduled to welcome its first operational cohorts in the first quarter of 2027. Technical tracks will directly support corporate partners across Saudi Arabia seeking to integrate customized artificial intelligence models into ongoing business operations.
Through this practical learning model, the enterprise plans to produce capable technical talent across both commercial and public administrative sectors. Continued expansion through academic and industrial partnerships will support long-term economic diversification goals across the country.
