Aramco Digital will utilise Accenture’s AI-driven learning platform to upskill Saudi Arabia’s workforce in transformative technologies such as Cloud, Data and AI, ensuring alignment with the goals of Vision 2030.
Aramco Digital, the technology arm of Aramco, has partnered with Accenture to drive generative AI (gen AI) innovation and enhance the digital skills agenda in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration aims to accelerate the Kingdom’s adoption of gen AI on a large scale, addressing the evolving digital talent needs across industries and contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Aramco Digital will leverage Accenture’s AI-native LearnVantage platform, which uses a gen AI-powered recommendation engine to provide tailored learning experiences. The platform offers capabilities such as skill gap assessments, personalised learning paths and certifications, aligning individual learning objectives with organisational and national growth priorities. It will also bring together a network of trainers and mentors, offering instruction in both Arabic and English, from Accenture’s global team of industry and academic experts.
Through this partnership, Accenture will equip Aramco Digital’s workforce with foundational and specialised AI skills, emphasising the responsible use of AI. This initiative supports Aramco Digital’s goal of becoming the leading provider of gen AI services in Saudi Arabia.
Tareq Amine, CEO of Aramco Digital, said: “Gen AI will continue to reshape the business sectors and the talent landscape in our Kingdom. We are partnering with Accenture to ensure we are not only prepared for the gen AI transformation but are well positioned to lead it. And we are excited to work alongside them to bring our deep capabilities and digital solutions in gen AI learning to market to serve the Kingdom’s workforce and help advance us toward achieving Vision 2030.”
The two companies will further collaborate to drive even greater AI fluency by bringing such capabilities to serve other organisations in the Kingdom and, ultimately, develop the talent needed to navigate changes brought by technological advancements and achieve greater value for the future.
Omar Boulos, CEO of Accenture Middle East, added: “We are passionate about helping organisations in Saudi Arabia become talent creators and contributing our extensive knowledge and capabilities to transform the way people learn. Our collaboration with Aramco Digital marks a significant step toward strengthening the Kingdom’s workforce with the skills of the future, and builds upon our existing commitment to support this dynamic market through digital skilling.”
Kishore Durg, Global Lead of Accenture LearnVantage, stated: “Powered by its cloud-based and AI-native platform, Accenture LearnVantage will play a critical role in accelerating digital skilling and ensuring learning effectiveness. We are excited to partner with Aramco Digital to deliver innovative solutions and help the Kingdom forge future-ready workforces.”
