BISMARCK, N.D. — Bismarck State College has started an energy training program for male high school graduates in Saudi Arabia. Sixty-seven students at the National Power Academy in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, have enrolled in a three-year program run by BSC, after months of negotiations, The Bismarck Tribune reported. Saudi Arabia chose BSC’s National Energy Center of Excellence, signing a five-year contract that’s expected to generate millions of dollars in revenue for the school. The final deal stated that whatever BSC develops in Bismarck to support the program belongs to the college, and what’s developed “specific to their needs” in Saudi Arabia belongs to the academy, Skogen said. ——Information from: Bismarck Tribune, http://www.bismarcktribune.com
