HP programme targets youth unemployment in region

 Three higher education bodies in the UAE have recently partnered with technology company Hewlett-Packard (HP) to set up the company’s youth entrepreneurship and information technology (IT) education programme Graduate Entrepreneurship Training through IT programme (GET-IT).

"HP and UNIDO together have provided IT technology and training to promote innovative uses of information and communication technologies to support entrepreneurship, help encourage economic development and create new business opportunities. It is essential to keep expanding this initiative to reach as many communities as possible and to continue assisting countries in Africa and the Middle East in educating their young generation in IT."
