Intel® collaborates with Raya Academy for joint training programs

Under this collaboration, which is the first to be announced worldwide, Intel and Raya Academy will launch a series of training programs that will initially include a three-day in-depth multi-core programming training with lab sessions. This will enable software developers to enhance the codes and offer more compelling threaded applications to the Egyptian market.

This is part of Intel’s Digital Transformation Initiative launched last year, with the mandate of building local entrepreneurship, enhancing education and driving digital accessibility and specialized competencies.

As an initiative of Intel® Software College, these programs will be designed to ensure that software developers can capitalize on Intel’s software tools and technologies to get maximum performance on the applications running on Intel architecture and platforms. Keeping developer needs and priorities in mind, these training programs will also provide developers with exposure to tested methods for optimizing software performance on Intel architecture, code samples, self-help and troubleshooting tools.

Speaking on the occasion, Sou Bennani, Intel Software College Manager, EMEA Software & Solutions Group said, “The two industry leaders will bring their respective strengths to this alliance – the latest technologies, such as multi-core, and expertise from Intel with the instructional design, training development and delivery expertise of Raya.”

To begin with, this collaboration will launch courses at Raya such as “Multi-core Programming” and later “Optimizing Applications on the Intel Xeon Processor”, “Tuning for the Intel Itanium 2 Microarchitecture”, High Performance Computing.

Intel and Raya will also set up state-of-the-art training centers, where students will be taught by Raya faculty with expertise on Intel’s tools and technologies. Upon completion, students will also receive the course materials and resources for ongoing learning. Additionally, students who enroll in these courses will also have the facility to register online on the Intel Software College website and check availability of online courses to supplement classroom training.

For Raya Academy, an acknowledged leader in providing certified IT and telecom training programs covering a wide array of subjects, this collaboration will further strengthen the Raya Academy’s broad portfolio of high-end programs designed for individuals who want to stay abreast of technology developments and upgrade their knowledge in specific areas within IT.

“This unique training collaboration with Intel will lead to 2,000 skilled developers on emerging Intel technologies over the next 3 years,” said Hossam Ezz, Operations Manager, and Raya Academy. “We hope to continue to extend this collaboration by offering additional coursework and to be able to reach more developers.”
