The sessions of the program’s first edition will be remotely carried out through the Human Resources Development Fund’s (Hadaf) Doroob platform.
Neom continues to launch a number of employment and educational programs and activities for the local community.
Last month, Neom launched its first diploma program, which aims to improve the technical skills of more than 6,000 trainees in the next five years and to localize jobs in different sectors of Neom.
In the first year of the program, 1,000 students will receive training in tourism, hospitality and cybersecurity at the Neom Academy, which was opened in January.
Neom, founded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2017, is destined to transform over 26,500 sq. km in Saudi Arabia’s northwestern Tabuk region, including 468 km of Red Sea waterfront.
