An 8-Month Training Program
This training program runs for eight months and combines in-person sessions with online learning. It's a collaborative effort with several international universities and major global tech companies, ensuring participants gain practical knowledge and experience that meets the latest international standards.
At the end of each training track, participants will complete a graduation project. This could involve contributing to a national initiative, collaborating with a global company, or even developing their own startup project. This hands-on approach really boosts the practical side of the program and gets trainees ready to jump into the job market.
