Many of the academy students “have gone on to start their own businesses, create and sell apps on the App Store, and give back to their communities,” Apple said on its Newsroom site.

“With the expansion plans underway, thousands more students worldwide will now have access to these opportunities each year.”

The global company has partnered with the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP) represented by Tuwaiq Academy, and in collaboration with Princess Nora bint Abdurrahman University (PNU), the news agency added.

SAFCSP Chairman Faisal al-Khamis said the new academy supports efforts to empower women and contributes to the achieving the goals of Vision 2030.

  2. It is my belief that mesothelioma is usually the most deadly cancer. It’s got unusual features. The more I really look at it the greater I am confident it does not conduct itself like a real solid tissue cancer. When mesothelioma is often a rogue viral infection, therefore there is the chance for developing a vaccine along with offering vaccination to asbestos subjected people who are at high risk associated with developing long run asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas about this important health issue.
