The training initiative is part of the first phase of the “Elevate Program,” the world's first of its kind, which will last for five years to skillfully train over 25,000 women from various nations in advanced technical domains.

Commencing in early May 2023, the first phase of Elevate program extends over nearly four months, during which trainees go through four different online training levels.

During the training, various and comprehensive learning methods are utilized, including integrated learning approaches, recorded lessons, self-training modules, group-based and synchronous learning, open seminars, virtual courses, as well as hands-on experiences like advanced labs and specialized projects.
