A common issue in the Middle East in general is industrial human development, which targets the two large tasks of securing industrial competitiveness in view of trade liberalization and solving employment issues. The best approach to this issue is building technical capacity to support industrial competitiveness.

The oil sector dominates Iraq's industries, with oil exports historically accounting for about three-quarters of gross domestic product (GDP) and more than 90 percent of foreign exchange earnings.
The industrial sector, like other sectors in Iraq, suffered a major blow in the recent years and needs to be reorganized and retrained to function efficiently.

Al Hashmia and its strategic partners can provide the industrial sectors with the following:

• International Oil Supply, Trading and Risk Management

• Petrochemical Markets and Economics

• Supply Chain Management

• Disaster Site Worker Training

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

• Applied Industrial Ergonomics

• Transportation of Dangerous Goods

• Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

• Ground Disturbance Awareness
