The Association djiboutienne pour l'éducation numérique et l'innovation (ADENI) has taken a significant step in preparing Djibouti's youth for careers in emerging technologies. On October 26, the organization awarded certificates to a dozen young people who completed a month-long training program in generative artificial intelligence. This initiative aims to strengthen the digital skills of young people and facilitate their entry into the job market in a rapidly expanding sector.
The training program, which was intensive and comprehensive, introduced participants to the tools and applications of generative artificial intelligence. The program's goal is to equip young people with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the digital economy. By investing in digital education and artificial intelligence, ADENI seeks to contribute to the development of a skilled and competitive workforce in Djibouti.
