Comprehensive AI Curriculum and Flexible Scheduling
The selected candidates will undergo a rigorous three-month training program covering essential technological domains. Professional AI instructors will teach subjects including machine learning, coding, and data fundamentals. Understanding the academic commitments of students, the foundation has designed weekend sessions to accommodate regular school schedules.
Officials emphasized that successful graduates will receive internationally recognized certificates, enabling them to access remote work opportunities and compete effectively in the global tech sector.
