As global economies and societies continue to leverage AI to push new frontiers, it is paramount to build a future-ready workforce that is skilled and qualified in the latest cutting-edge technologies. After all, digital transformation and #innovation is driven by human talent. #Oracle continues to make significant investments around the world to empower youth as well as professionals with vital knowledge and skills needed for today’s AI age. Our latest technology upskilling initiative in the Far East announced by our CEO Safra Catz reflects Oracle’s steadfast commitment towards education. In collaboration with the Singapore government, Oracle will deliver free training to 10,000 students and professionals in #ArtificialIntelligence, #Cloud, Cybersecurity and Data Science by 2027. In December 2023, we announced the ambitious ‘Mostaqbali’ program that will train 50,000 Saudi nationals in AI and the latest emerging tech. This was followed by a path-breaking training initiative early this year in the UAE called ‘sAIdaty’. Aligned to the UAE’s vision to be the world’s most prepared country for AI, ‘sAIdaty’ will equip 500 women professionals and entrepreneurs with vital AI skills. Such visionary capacity building initiatives will go a long way in enabling the regions where we operate to become global epicenters for AI and digital excellence.
