Under this initiative, LG will provide Saudi women students with certified IT Education. The certification has been approved by the JCCI. To bridge the gap between academic and Saudi women in the Kingdom, the IT Academy provides key practical and theoretical skills through a structured learning program. After completion of the training and required exams it will enable students jobs within the IT industry.

John Lee, managing director of LG Electronics, Jeddah, said: "We believe that by working together with the local communities and organizations we can guide Saudi women, helping them to become the architects of their own success. This is part of LG's CSR initiative - to give back to the community."

LG Electronics is very active in terms of activities and CSR initiatives among Saudi women. LG cooking Academy offers women a valuable opportunity to learn about various cooking styles and methods, nutrition, and health. LG IT Academy's objective is also based on the same ground which will provide free IT certification for Saudi women.

"Through this initiative, LG Electronics is encouraging to contribute to the welfare of Saudi women and is setting an example for other organizations to follow similar community initiatives," Mandoura said.
