The program aims to enhance the digital skills of participating government employees, provide them with the opportunity to acquire the digital skills that are in demand in the job market, and enable them to contribute to supporting the Emirate's position as a hub for innovation and its digital transformation on a global level.”
The program, launched jointly by the ADSG, ADDA, and Abu Dhabi Global Market, seeks to provide Abu Dhabi Government employees with digital skills required to enhance the digital transformation of Abu Dhabi’s Government and the Emirate’s economy, thereby strengthening the Emirate’s position as a leader in the global digital sector and an innovative business hub.
Graduates from the program were awarded with a certificate in digital transformation, which included three main stages: raising awareness, practical applications, and strategic planning. All the program’s stages focused on providing participants with knowledge and training on a number of modern technologies and digital concepts, such as AI, cybersecurity, data science, and financial technologies, which contributed to developing participants’ skills by awarding them with certificates in the digital domain.
The ADSG is committed to its continuous investments in honing Abu Dhabi Government’s employees’ digital skills, providing them with the necessary capabilities to keep pace with the requirements of the future and supporting the digital transformation of government entities in the Emirate.
