Leveraging Accenture LearnVantage’s AI-native platform, Aramco Digital to upskill Saudi workforce in transformative technologies including Cloud, Data & AI and keep pace with Vision 2030
Aramco Digital, the digital and technology subsidiary of Aramco, and Accenture have partnered to enhance digital skilling and create an AI-ready workforce in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration aims to leverage Accenture's AI-native learning platform, LearnVantage, to upskill the Saudi workforce in transformative technologies such as Cloud, Data, and AI.
The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which focuses on diversifying the economy and developing a robust digital infrastructure. By using generative AI (gen AI) innovation, the partnership will help address the evolving digital talent requirements across various industries in the Kingdom.
This move is expected to not only prepare the workforce for the future but also position Aramco Digital as a leading provider of gen AI services in Saudi Arabia.
Notably, Accenture has a significant presence in Saudi Arabia, playing a crucial role in various sectors through its consulting, technology, and operations services. For instance in March of last year, Accenture won a multi-year contract to help set up and operate the Spark Digital Centre for Saudi Aramco.
Through the delivery of its comprehensive gen AI learning platform, Accenture will equip the company’s entire workforce with foundational and specialized AI skills, including the responsible use of AI, and help Aramco Digital in its pursuit of becoming the largest provider of gen AI services in Saudia Arabia.
