Riyadh | 21 Muharram 1447 AH – July 16, 2025

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has announced the launch of “Your Smart Summer,” an initiative run in partnership with a group of leading national education and training bodies, aimed at equipping different segments of society with digital skills and artificial intelligence know-how, as part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to meet the targets of the Human Capability Development Program, one of the pillars of Saudi Vision 2030.

The initiative aims to make productive use of the summer break to raise individuals' digital competence through specialized training programs built on the latest global standards, combining theoretical learning with hands-on practice to equip members of the public with future-facing skills that keep pace with global technological shifts, particularly in artificial intelligence and innovation.

Toward Saudi leadership in the digital economy. “Your Smart Summer” is part of the national push to build a digitally capable workforce, and complements efforts by the National Center for Curriculum Development, which recently announced that artificial intelligence will be included in general-education curricula starting with the 2025/2026 school year, to prepare the next generation for the future.

The ministry said the initiative represents a practical step toward building a sustainable digital society and reinforcing the Kingdom's position as a regional hub for digital talent, noting that artificial intelligence is one of the core pillars of Vision 2030 and a central driver of development and innovation.
