The #UAE partners with #tech giants for training campaigns
HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President and Ruler of #Dubai– has unveiled the signed agreement with major technology companies like #google, #amazon, #microsoft, #cisco and more to train hundreds of thousands of young people in #computerprogramming.
This new programme represents a further giant step towards establishing a #digitaleconomy. After all, the ability to code, develop software and build mobile applications are some of the most sought-after skills in the global job market.
Moreover, through this partnership, HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced that he seeks to establish “1,000 tech companies that will go global.”
The UAE has been steadily moving towards #digitalisation for some time. For instance, in 2017, a national campaign named ‘One Million Arab Coders’ was launched, which aimed to equip young people with the necessary tools to succeed in the future tech-based market.
