PwC’s Academy collaborates with Code Nation to offer coding courses in UAE

PwC’s Academy has collaborated with Code Nation to offer coding courses in UAE. PwC’s Academy, the talent and skills development business of PwC, has provided a range of courses suited for professionals at each point of their coding journey as the UAE continues to strengthen its economic security by adopting a digital economy. The certifications, developed in collaboration with Code Nation, are intended to assist national efforts and future objectives in the UAE.

The partnership is particularly relevant to the UAE’s “National Program for Coders,” which aims to make the UAE the world’s leading destination for coders and future innovators. It also contributes to closing the region’s current technical skills gap and supporting the country’s vision for the future.

The coding courses use a combination of technologies to provide participants with customizable, unique learning regimens, as well as real-time communication and cooperation with their teachers. The addition of a development team, as well as access to team conversations and screen shares, creates a supportive learning environment that allows students to obtain coding skills rapidly and confidently. Participants will obtain knowledge of one of the most in-demand skills in today’s digital economy, as well as the ability to become immediately employable, transition to new jobs within their current organisations, and gain knowledge of one of the most in-demand talents in today’s digital economy.

Amanda Line, Partner, PwC Partner and PwC’s Academy ME Leader, said: “The speed of adaptation to new needs, technologies and skills has become essential for the success of individuals, organisations and governments.  This is immediately visible in countries as ambitious as the UAE, where the leadership has long recognised the crucial role that advanced technology plays in the economic and social progress of the nation. The programmes we have developed with Code Nation are practical, professional and ensure world class capability for application in our region.”

David Muir, CEO and Founder, Code Nation, said: “At Code Nation, we believe that anyone can learn to code…and gain access to the growing number of positions in the thriving tech workforce. Whilst our pioneering courses and programmes have seen great success in the UK, our partnership with PwC’s Academy enables us to bring our expertise to the region – inspiring more UAE nationals and expats to gain the technical skills today’s employers are looking for. We’re excited to be working with PwC on this important programme in the region.”
