Saudi initiative to train citizens for digital jobs

A NEWLY-LAUNCHED training initiative called ‘Fuel’ aims to equip 100,000 Saudi citizens in its first year with skills and credentials tailored to in-demand digital jobs, according to a Press release. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), the Saudi Digital Academy, and Coursera, in collaboration with the National eLearning Centre, spearheaded the initiative. This transformative pro- gramme will be delivered through the Saudi Digital Academy, one of the MCIT’s initiatives to empower the youth and equip them with today’s required skills for the Saudi digital labour market. This partnership will serve Saudi nationals, including those seeking jobs, employed workers looking to upskill in Information and Communications Technology domains, recent university graduates, and Saudi youth.
