In a new initiative, workers attend classes that will develop their English language skills and introduce them to new technologies
Workers in Dubai now have an opportunity to learn digital skills from writing for social media to coding and artificial intelligence in a new initiative launched by education tech company Coded Minds.
Coded Minds has rolled out a year-long course called ‘Build my Dreams’, a programme accredited by the emirate’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). Workers will have to pay only Dh83 per month for a year to attend classes that will develop their English language skills and introduce them to new technologies like artificial intelligence and coding.
