A nationwide artificial intelligence (AI) training programme has been launched under the Department of Youth Development's project titled "Skills Development of IT-Knowledgeable Youths through Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology" to enhance the technological capabilities of young people. The programme was inaugurated today in Bogura by Youth and Sports State Minister Md Aminul Haque, who attended as the chief guest at the Mom Inn Auditorium. Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives State Minister Mir Shahe Alam inaugurated the programme, while Public Administration State Minister Md Abdul Bari joined virtually as the keynote speaker.

The programme aims to prepare youths for technology-driven workplaces by enabling them to acquire AI-based skills. In the first phase, 1,600 trainees, 25 from each of the country's 64 districts, have been selected. The training will be conducted in 448 batches, with 25 participants in each batch. Each course will run for two months, comprising 50 classes and a total of 300 hours of training.

During the programme, laptops were distributed to eight top-earning freelancers at the divisional level under the Department of Youth Development's ongoing freelancing project. Additionally, 24 freelancers from different districts of Rajshahi Division were presented with honorary crests in recognition of their achievements.

The initiative is expected to create opportunities for employment and self-employment, contributing to the development of skilled human resources in the field of information technology. The programme also aligns with the government's broader efforts to expand employment opportunities at the local level and prepare the youth for the future job market.
