TROY UNIVERSITY JIC CAMPUS
Jubail Industrial College has its roots in 1978 when the
Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu established a
skills training center, to develop skilled manpower
required by the Kingdom. In 1982, the skills training
center was upgraded into an institute named the Royal
Commission Jubail Human Resources Development
Institute. The Manpower Council of the Government
of Saudi Arabia issued a Royal decree in 1989 to
transform the institute into a full fledged engineering
and business college, named the Jubail Industrial
College. This was established to serve the educational
and training needs of the newly created Jubail
Industrial City and the local and regional community of
