The First Edition of Samsung Innovation Campus in Algeria - Artificial intelligence on the training menu

The first edition of Innovation Campus – an education program providing AI courses followed by a certification ceremony – was developed by the Samsung Electronics Algeria Branch together with GoMyCode. Innovation Campus offers students digital skills reflecting new technological trends, in line with the demands of a constantly evolving job market.

Students applied for Artificial Intelligence (AI) courses with mentoring by professors from the University of Algiers and Tlemcen selected with the support of GoMyCode for the project.

Students worked on design skills, project management, and problem solving, along with soft skills such as HR and preparation for job interviews. They also found motivation to be prepared for their future workplace in a post-COVID-19 era.

The objective of this training is to allow people passionate about the world of AI to acquire desired training in a sector with high potential, and thus open-up new professional prospects for them. The program reflects the vision of Samsung to empower young people looking to enter the labor market focused on new technologies.

The latest technological developments and innovation will transform traditional industries and daily life in Algeria, both in the region and around the world. Samsung Innovation Campus aims to foster local skills in new technologies and consequently contribute to the digital transformation of Algeria, while realizing the vision to construct an economy based on knowledge.
