Oracle’s global, philanthropic educational program, Oracle Academy, launched an upskilling programme in partnership with Mentor Arabia and Tamkeen Al Shabab to engage, inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders and technology innovators in Saudi Arabia.
The program will provide core computing literacy to meet the demands of the future of work by training 10 volunteer educators in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Upon completion, the candidates will implement their knowledge in APEX by training up to 100 Computer Sciences graduates.
Oracle Academy’s partnership with Tamkeen Al Shabab will provide holistic training that will cover various skills needed for participating students to excel in their future careers. While Tamkeen Al Shabab will equip them with the key soft and life skills, Oracle Academy in parallel will develop their technical capacities by offering them and their educators exceptional training and a range of high-quality, free courses that cater to varying levels and industries.
To name a few – some of these courses will include Java Fundamentals; Java Foundations; Artificial Intelligence with Machine Learning in Java; SQL Fundamentals; Oracle Application Express (APEX) Development Foundations and more.
The additional curriculum for Computer Science teachers covers Java and Database and offers teachers the option to take this learning into their anytime, anywhere online classrooms using the Oracle Academy free resources hosted online.
Students will also have the opportunity to undertake the Oracle Foundations Associate Java and Oracle Foundations Associate Database exams through Oracle University, which are aligned to the Oracle Academy curriculum.
