Crescent Petroleum, the region's oldest and largest private oil and gas company, has partnered with Edraak, the Arab World's leading non-profit online education platform, to launch a unique AI training specialisation enabling young people to become proficient at using AI tools to enhance their workplace skills.
The programme builds on the Career Compass Pathway, which was launched by the same partners last year and has already trained 1.3 million young people across the Arab World in business skills including IT and English language for the workplace, enhancing their employment prospects and helping them build better careers. Edraak is an initiative of the Queen Rania Foundation in Jordan and the leading online course platform in Arabic.
The AI for Employment specialisation will offer four online courses teaching practical skills and offering hands-on experience in applying AI across different industry sectors. The specialisation will provide online lectures and coursework in AI training, and application and skills development, all hosted on Edraak's online education platform. Key skills taught include how to leverage AI productivity tools, how to write better AI prompts, and how to use real-world applications for AI in various job functions, delivered in Arabic by expert practitioners.
