The initiative was launched in October 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the importance of digital skills in today\u2019s economy,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.constructionweekonline.com\/article-45115-2017-construction-week-power-100-top-10-developers\/4\/\">DAMAC\u2019s Chairman<\/a>, said: \u201cAs the world moves towards the adoption of a digital economy, it is becoming increasingly dependent on the availability of a skilled workforce, where each nation\u2019s economic success is dependent on its efforts to develop a talent pool of highly skilled workers to cope with this disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe digital skills gap is a global dilemma, not just one for emerging markets, as millions of jobs in software development need to be filled right now. What happens when these jobs increase by 20%, 30%, or 40% in the near future? Where will the global community find a sustainable stream of talent to tap into?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added: \u201cThe global community needs more initiatives like One Million Coders to empower [its] societies with the skills and technical expertise required for jobs of the future. This is a strategic imperative for the economic success of any nation, as the world enters the Fourth Industrial Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source:&nbsp;Construction Week Online DAMAC Properties has announced that its founder and chairman, Hussain Sajwani, will be speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF), taking place from 23 to 26 January,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22422,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 -
