Abu Dhabi Global Market Academy, the education arm of the UAE capital's financial free zone, Abu Dhabi Digital Authority and Abu Dhabi School of Government are jointly launching a digital programme to boost the emirate’s smart government strategy.
Abu Dhabi Digital Programme is the first joint initiative following a deal signed between the government entities in November. Government employees will be invited to take part in the programme, where they will earn certification on their successful completion of the scheme, according to a joint statement on Tuesday.
"Digital Literacy is no longer a simple matter of adding value to existing systems … it has become a staple requirement for all government employees who wish to be the next generation of digitally-aware and technology-driven young professionals,” Mansoor Mohamed Al Marzooqi, executive director of strategic planning sector at Adda, said.
