DataVolt, a developer, investor, and operator of sustainable digital infrastructure, in collaboration with the Energy Water Academy EWA , a non-profit vocational training institute, and Innovatics , a leading educator in Data Science Artificial Intelligence AI, has today announced the launch of a fully industry-integrated national Diploma in Data Science and AI. This first-of-its-kind program is uniquely designed to combine academic excellence with hands-on AI problem solving and aims to future-proof Saudi Arabia's talent for the digital age.
Launched at the LEARN event in Riyadh, the Diploma is fully approved by the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation TVTC and College of Excellence CoE and endorsed by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology MCIT , with support also being providing by the Human Resources Development Fund HRDF. Unlike typical academic programs, the Diploma uniquely integrates classroom learning with applied projects. Students will work directly with sponsoring companies such as DataVolt on real-world challenges, developing Proof of Concept AI solutions that address live business problems and create graduates with job-ready skills.
As part of its commitment to the Diploma, DataVolt will sponsor five students from the inaugural cohort and guarantee their employment upon graduation, where they will work to support high-power densityworkloads in the company's data centers, including its flagship AI factory campus under development in Oxagon. The company is inviting other industry players to join as co-sponsors, ensuring the full cohort of 100 students including 50 women is funded and ready to commence studies in November 2025.
