At the official launch event, Dr. Youssef Al-Darwani, Programme manger, highlighted that the programme represents a critical and practical step forward in strengthening the technical skills and entrepreneurial capacities of Yemeni youth in the fields of programming and technology-based enterprise. The training will be conducted under the supervision of certified trainers from the Saylani Welfare Internaitional Trust, and with CRB’s direct implementationn.
Al-Darwani noted that the selection of participants followed a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation process, including personal interviews and technical and linguistic assessments, to ensure the admission of the most qualified candidates prepared to benefit from the programme. He further indicated that the next phase will focus on hands-on training to empower the
trainees.
