The FutureSkills4All initiative that we are launching today will shape a future where everyone has equal and easy access to quality continuing education and skills development,\u201d said Abdallah Al Dardari, Assistant Secretary-General, Assistant Administrator and Director of the Regional Bureau for Arab States at UNDP. \u201cWe are confident that this initiative will pave the way for thousands of people to seize the opportunities of tomorrow and boost our pursuit of the vision of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the Arab States region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The skills required in today\u2019s job market are changing faster than ever before, largely due to accelerated digital transformation and new technologies. Recent studies show that more than 60 per cent of workers will need retraining by 2027. Only half of those workers currently have access to adequate training opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u201cPartnerships like these reflect the United Arab Emirates\u2019 vision of progress and innovation, empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills they need for the future. Together, we aim to foster an environment where every individual can thrive in the digital age,\u201d said H.E. Jamal Bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF. \u201cLaunching this initiative with UNDP and Coursera at such an important platform, not only underscores the commitment of our nation to the development of the Arab States region but also to global cooperation and knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The one-year pilot programme aims to provide thousands of people with the opportunity to develop in-demand and career-relevant skills and create a more flexible and resilient workforce. In its initial phase, it will be available to 5,500 Arab nationals in nine countries, including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates. The programme will be open to recent graduates, entrepreneurs, and job seekers, with a focus on people in underserved and vulnerable communities. It also aims to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and public institutions, improve their employees\u2019 skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with UNDP and MBRF to equip thousands of citizens across the Arab States region with the in-demand skills and credentials needed to participate in the digital economy,\u201d said Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera. \u201cThis initiative will improve employability for jobseekers, help employers and entrepreneurs stay competitive, and drive economic prosperity across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>To learn more about the \u2018FutureSkills4All\u2019 initiative and register, please visit www.knowledge4all.org.
