The initiative was launched by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in 2023. It aims to enhance women’s participation in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector and empower female graduates to acquire the practical experience needed to enter the labor market. This initiative comes as part of the Ministry’s efforts to support young talents and facilitate the transition of graduates from academic life to the professional work environment. This is achieved by providing training and employment opportunities within private sector companies in fields aligned with their academic specializations.
The Ministry, through this initiative, employs the beneficiaries within private sector companies in roles and responsibilities that aligns with their specializations in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. The initiative provides full financial support for the beneficiaries’ monthly salary for a period of 12 months, covering 100% of the stipend value throughout the program duration. In addition, a comprehensive set of training programs is offered during the participation period, including digital skills, life skills, and English language training.
