A new Emiratisation programme has been unveiled in Dubai.
In a series of Tweets, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, said the objective of the new plan is to create "a job for every citizen".
We will identify key obstacles the Emiratisation drive had faced in the past to overcome them. We will monitor needs of the job market & future qualifications needed in the Emirati workforce. We believe in the importance of private & public sectors shouldering this national duty.
