The Goa IT Department has announced a plan to certify 50,000 residents in artificial intelligence by 2030, aiming to boost the state's tech workforce.
The Goa IT Department has unveiled a new initiative to certify 50,000 Goans in artificial intelligence by the year 2030. The scheme, announced in a press briefing, seeks to equip the state's workforce with skills that are increasingly in demand across the global tech landscape.
Under the plan, residents will have access to a series of training modules and certification courses developed in partnership with leading universities and industry experts. The program will be delivered through a mix of online platforms and regional training hubs set up across Goa.
Experts say the move will help Goa tap into the growing AI market, attract investment, and create high‑paying jobs for local talent. The department has highlighted that the certification will be recognized by major tech firms, enhancing employability for participants.
The government has pledged to allocate resources for infrastructure, scholarships, and mentorship to ensure the initiative’s success. A detailed roadmap will be released later this month, outlining milestones and the rollout schedule for the certification program.
