The Saudi Ministry of Communications and Information Technology collaborated with Google Cloud to launch a specialized training track in machine language analysis and artificial intelligence.
This initiative aims to develop Saudi cadres and empower them to utilize the latest technologies and maximize the benefits of digital technologies in improving business environments across various sectors.
The program is offered as an additional step within the strategic partnership with Google Cloud, providing its new services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to deliver a secure cloud infrastructure and enhance the growth of companies by providing more investment opportunities and boosting sustainable digital economy.
The training program extends for a full 10 weeks. At the beginning of the program, some trainees will be selected to attend at the main headquarters of Google in Silicon Valley, California for four weeks. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from Google experts specialized in collaborative labs and knowledge sharing. Following that, the training will continue remotely for six weeks. Finally, the trainees will participate in exams that qualify them to obtain specialized Google certificates.
A new Google Cloud region was opened in the city of Dammam in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last November, aiming to provide its cloud services with outstanding performance and low response time to all clients regardless of their size, whether they are governmental institutions, large companies, small and medium enterprises, or startups in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East region.
This step contributes to supporting promising digital business initiatives, enhancing innovation in artificial intelligence applications and business models in both public and private sectors. This cloud region assists public and private institutions in Saudi Arabia to maximize the benefits from their data, leverage the capabilities of innovative artificial intelligence solutions, and build an innovation culture supported by modern, sustainable infrastructure with a high level of security.
