Specialized AI Training Program Launched to Enhance Skills of Imam Hussain Holy Shrine Staff

The Technical Education Authority of the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine has initiated an advanced artificial intelligence training program under the supervision of the Shrine’s General Secretariat. The initiative aims to strengthen international cooperation across its departments and elevate staff competencies as part of a broader series of technical development activities conducted by the Authority, both inside and outside Iraq, to cultivate modern technological skills.

Dr. Hakim Al-Jubouri, Scientific Assistant to the Technical Education Authority, told the official website that this course aligns with the Authority’s ongoing efforts to offer specialized training programs for employees across the various departments of the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine.

He explained that the invitation extended to Dr. Mohammad Balushi from an Iranian university was intended to deliver a comprehensive program covering artificial intelligence applications in administrative, financial, engineering, and medical fields. The first day included an introductory presentation on the fundamentals of AI and its contemporary uses.

According to Dr. Al-Jubouri, the course is designed to equip the Shrine’s staff with the skills necessary to apply AI technologies in their daily work, enabling them to perform tasks with greater precision and efficiency. He noted that the Technical Education Authority supervises multiple institutions, including schools, universities, and the Artificial Intelligence Center, and provides a wide range of programs serving all segments of society, from children and youth to adults, in addition to professional training offered through the Al-Thiqa Training and Qualification Center.

For his part, Dr. Balushi stated that the workshop consists of three training levels tailored to different staff groups: employees, mid-level managers, and department heads. The course focuses on the use of AI in civil engineering and various administrative fields, providing practical examples and hands-on steps to ensure participants can effectively integrate these technologies into their work.

He added that the program includes instruction on entering commands and data into intelligent systems to achieve optimal performance. The initiative also supports stronger academic coordination between the universities of the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine and Semnan University in Iran, paving the way for future cooperation in engineering and educational disciplines.

In conclusion, Dr. Balushi expressed his appreciation to the administration of the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine for the opportunity to conduct the course and share his expertise. He emphasized the importance of such initiatives in advancing the technical and engineering competencies of the Shrine’s institutions.
