There is no doubt that the program "Train to Work" confirms the commitment of Mubadala to developing national cadres and advancing the economic growth of the UAE.
Amal Al Jabri, Acting Director-General of the Human Resources Authority, confirmed that this common cooperation is an important and pioneering step to increase employment opportunities for national job seekers and enhance the role and contribution of the people of the country in the process of construction and development.
She also said: We are working in the Human Resources Authority to prepare plans to develop the labor market in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and we are keen to open channels of communication and cooperation with all parties to develop human capital and enhance the work system in all areas that keep pace with the development process of the country. We confirm that Emiratisation is a strategic priority that requires integration between the various government and private sectors.
Al Jabri praised the efforts of the strategic partners and all those involved in such programs aimed at investing in the national human element and giving equal opportunities for national competencies to participate in advancing the comprehensive development wheel in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
In turn, His Excellency Dr. Abdullatif Al Shamsi, Director of the Higher Colleges of Technology, confirmed that Emiratisation is the responsibility of everyone and that solidarity and cooperation between institutions at the level of education, training and employment supports Emiratisation efforts, pointing out that the partnership between the Higher Colleges of Technology represented by the Excellence Center for Applied Research and Training (CERT), the Human Resources Authority and Mubadala Investment Company through "Train for Work" program, is deemed a distinguished form in supporting Emiratisation based on the integration of roles, in terms of identifying job seekers through the Human Resources Authority, and training and qualifying them through specialized programs according to actual needs of the labor market, which is the role played by the Higher Colleges of Technology through "CIRT" to be employed by "Mubadala" according to the job vacancies available at its subsidiaries.
Al Shamsi confirmed that the great success of the first batch of the program encouraged the Higher Colleges of Technology to receive a new batch, which is expected to include 500 Emirati trainees who will be trained in health care fields as medical assistants and translators and aviation technicians at the level of general technical training. The first batch, which started in 2019 and continued until the end of 2020, included about 1,200 citizens looking for job including a number of people of determination.
