Oracle has announced plans to train and certify 350,000 individuals across key Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Morocco, and Jordan, to address the growing demand for Oracle Cloud services in the region. This ambitious skills development program will focus on equipping professionals with expertise in the most in-demand technologies, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle AI services, OCI Generative AI, Low Code, Oracle APEX, DevOps, Cloud Data Management, and Security and Cloud Applications Business Processes.
“Oracle is driving one of the fastest cloud expansions in the Middle East, enabling customers to innovate and unlock new growth opportunities using Oracle’s suite of over 150 AI and cloud services, available across dedicated, public, and hybrid cloud environments,” said Gary Miller, Executive Vice President of Customer Success Services at Oracle.
The increasing demand for Oracle Cloud is paving the way for exciting new job prospects for IT professionals who can assist Oracle customers in implementing cutting-edge digital technologies. This initiative will support the Middle East’s rapidly growing AI economy, projected to reach $320 billion by 2030, by developing a local pool of Oracle-certified professionals crucial for the region’s success.
Oracle will partner with local public sector entities to deliver this multi-year initiative through a digital learning experience on Oracle MyLearn, Oracle University’s platform, which is already used by millions of technology learners worldwide.
The training will begin with foundational courses in cloud technologies and progress to professional-level certifications in areas such as DevOps, AI, business process applications, machine learning, and data science. The program will also provide tailored training based on individual learning levels and goals.
