Kuwait announced that it will launch a training program to develop the skills of girls in the field of programming artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
The one-month training program will be organized by Kuwait Central Agency for Information Technology "CAIT" and Dell Technologies, to empower women in the field of technology.
Haya Al-Wadani, director general of CAIT, said in a press statement that early investment in girls in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is the cornerstone of their digital empowerment.
The training program contributes to achieving gender parity in the field of information and communication technology, said Al-Wadani, noting that by 2025 the digital economy is expected to reshape the world's job landscape and create new business models.
Haver Haddad, general manager of Dell Technologies in the Gulf region, said that the future will be driven by technology, and 85 percent of the jobs that will be created by 2030 have not yet been discovered.
Haddad added that the training program will develop the participants' capabilities and enable them to contribute to Kuwait's digital economy.
