The platform will act as a reliable source for getting detailed and precise information about training programmes and courses.
The m-Government initiative has recently launched a special e-portal that enables users to register for m-Government training programmes. These programmes are aimed at preparing and training nationals from various government entities at both federal and local levels. The step is part of an integrated strategy aimed towards successfully achieving the smart government transformation process in the UAE over the next year.
The platform will act as a reliable source for getting detailed and precise information about training programmes and courses. It also features a search engine that enables the browser to find the appropriate course according to the emirate or according to the topic requested. Moreover, the website offers trainees an initial test before starting the courses. In addition, it enables them to apply for the final test through the website after completing the training period. Successful trainees will also be able to get their training certificate signed electronically.
Hamad Obaid Al Mansouri, Deputy Director-General for Information and e-Government sector at the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, said: "The launch of this platform gives a strong impetus to the m-Government training project, which contributes significantly to promoting a knowledge-based culture and economy in general, while raising awareness of the m-Government concepts in particular."
Majid Al Madhloum, project director of Mobile Government Training Programme, commented: "The launch of the m-Government training portal will facilitate the training process and enable better access to the m-Government programmes and courses offered by this initiative, thus reaching a larger segment of those interested in developing their skills to keep up with the mobile government transformation process."
"We call on all government entities in the UAE to seize this opportunity and register their employees who are interested in obtaining appropriate training in the m-Government transformation project, according to the requirements and field of work in each entity. We would like to emphasise that the contents of the courses are very rich and instructive as they were designed carefully and thoroughly to benefit and prepare trainees to achieve the needed results," he added.
The training courses will include various important topics including the management of smart services in the UAE, the m-Government IT infrastructure, and the security of smart applications and smart application developers, as this topic is essential for all who support the m-Government initiative and seek to understand the mechanisms for developing smart applications.
