Wamdah Tech, with support from Agility, is expanding its Wamdah Tech programs for women graduates in computer science and information technology across several regions of Saudi Arabia.
The rollout plan covers Madinah, Hail, and the Northern Borders. This initiative helps technology graduates develop practical skills aligned with local labor-market needs.
The initiative focuses on moving participants from academic knowledge into hands-on application and professional practice. Graduates will use application development and artificial intelligence tools during their training. This approach helps participants build experience in digital services.
Expansion to New Saudi Regions
The expansion targets promising regions to build local capabilities. By extending these services, the initiative supports the development of local technology talent. This aligns with the broader goals of digital transformation in the Kingdom.
Structure of the Wamdah Tech programs
The Wamdah Tech programs are delivered in three distinct stages to ensure a structured learning pathway. The first stage consists of an intensive, three-day, in-person training program. This stage comprises 15 hours of instruction in application development and programming.
Following the initial training, participants enter a 45-day period of remote practical application. This phase is conducted through the Wamdah Tech digital platform. The final stage involves sourcing technology projects from local organizations and businesses.
This final phase allows participants to apply their skills in real-world settings. The entire integrated pathway extends for up to 120 days. This model links skills development directly with professional opportunities.
Connecting Skills with Market Needs
“We value Agility’s support for Wamdah Tech and the opportunity it creates to focus on what comes after training. Our goal is for participants to move from acquiring skills to applying them in practice, and to leave with a clearer understanding of how technology projects are developed and delivered, strengthening their readiness for professional opportunities in the market.”
Abdullah Al-Khaldi, CEO of MDK Innovation Nonprofit and General Supervisor of Wamdah Tech
Al-Khaldi stated that technology training is most valuable when knowledge becomes practical application. This experience opens doors to continued professional opportunities. The initiative helps graduates build demonstrable experience for their careers.
