The Information Technology Institute (ITI) is offering new training courses in freelancing as part of Freelancing and Remote Work Initiative.

The courses cover topics including freelancing basics, and how one can get started as a freelancer on Arab and foreign freelancing platforms such as Upwork, Mostaql and Khamsat.

The training is provided through Mahara-Tech. It introduces non-traditional forms of employment, online freelancing, how to earn in USD and tips to get paid on freelancing platforms. The training also provides an introduction of those platforms in Arabic and sign language.
