As the MENA startup ecosystem continues to grow, the demand for good talent grows as well. As stated in a report from World Economic Forum: “Across the Middle East and North Africa, a number of countries have improved the educational achievement of their younger generations at notable rates and, by 2030, the region is set to expand its tertiary educated talent pool by 50%. However, youth unemployment in the MENA region stands at 31% and university graduates are making up nearly 30% of the total unemployed pool. Workforce participation gender gaps currently remain wide across the region, ranging from just over 40% in Kuwait and Qatar to nearly 80% in Algeria and Jordan, reflecting an inefficient use of education investments.” In order for young talent to prepare and be ready to enter the workforce, industry certifications specially in the IT sector are considered as one of the best options.
