Canon Saudi Arabia, the leading provider of imaging technologies and services, has further strengthened its support to helping realise the goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030 through skills development programmes for youth and offering advanced solutions that meet the needs of the education sector. This builds on the focus of Saudi Arabia, over the past two years of commencing direct operations in the Kingdom, to extend its support to the education sector. 

 

As part of its commitment to empowering youth and strengthening the education sector, Canon Saudi Arabia provided on-the-ground activations at the Graduation Week of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah.

From skillset development through printing and photography training workshops to offering advanced solutions for the education sector, we will continue to focus on building the skills of Saudi youth. Through our support to King Abdulaziz University, we are further engaging with the students and inspiring them to pursue rewarding careers.”
