Microsoft empowers more than a quarter million UAE-based professionals DUBAI, 3 days ago Microsoft has announced that a global digital-skilling initiative launched in partnership with LinkedIn has allowed more than a quarter million people in the UAE to acquire digital skills during the Covid-19 crisis.   The achievement stems from a programme launched in June 2020 by Microsoft and LinkedIn to support companies in moving to a skills-based recruitment methodology, leaving behind legacy approaches that placed emphasis on less relevant attributes, such as previous role or age. Since the programme launched, more than 30 million people around the world – including 250,313 in the UAE – engaged with the initiative and developed digital skills. Encouraged by the progress, Microsoft and LinkedIn have decided to extend the programme and help 250,000 companies globally make skills-based hires in 2021.
