Muscat, Oman: Enabling the rise of a new coder generation, Vodafone Oman has signed a partnership agreement with Code Academy, a training institute specialized in delivering IT and trending technology programs, for the development and co-implementation of a program in coding and trending technologies for the new generations. Set to become Vodafone’s anchor CSR initiative, the program will aim, in the long-term, to bridge the technical knowledge gap between school and higher education as well as build the foundation for the creation of a new vocational career path in the market.

Since inception, Vodafone commitment to Oman has been underpinned by a drive to create opportunities for growth and value-generation in line with Vision 2040. Today, though its partnership with Code Academy, it is looking to develop and nurture young minds with new-age coding capabilities supplemented by tailored soft skill coaching delivered by Vodafone. 

Scheduled to open for registration in the second half of this year, the program will target youth between the ages of 10 and 13 years old across Oman, offering in-person and online courses in the areas of problem solving, programming, cyber security and trending technologies such as Data Science and Artificial Intelligence; in addition to soft-skills and innovation.
