<\/strong>SAR 8.5 bn agreements inked at HCI:<\/strong> The second Human Capability Initiative (HCI) conference ended with more than 100 agreements and initiatives worth over SAR 8.5 bn signed, state news agency SPA<\/a> reports.

The second day saw the launch of the Future Skills Initiative \u2014 part of the Saudi-UK Strategic Partnership Council \u2014 leading to the signing of six agreements<\/a> with British higher-education institutions, private companies, and state agencies to develop professional skills.<\/p>\n

Oracle will boost our AI skills: <\/strong>The Oracle Corporation launched a national training program to equip 50k Saudis with AI and digital technologies skills, in collaboration with the Communications and Information Technology Ministry and the National eLearning Center, according to a statement<\/a> from the ministry.<\/p>\n

Partnerships on vocational training: <\/strong>The Technical Training Corporation signed two<\/a>agreements<\/a> with both the UK Department for Business and Trade and the Statistical, Economic, and Social Research and Training Center for Islamic Countries. The first partnership will focus on supporting technical and vocational training at OIC countries' institutions, while the second aims to promote cooperation in the same field through joint academic events.<\/p>\n

ALSO- Saudi Arabia doubled down on its support to the Messengers of Peace initiative<\/strong>, pledging<\/a> USD 50 mn in renewed funding. The decade-long commitment supports over 100 mn scouts in 176 countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
