The UAE has given the green light to a Dh6.4 billion budget to enhance Emiratisation efforts in the private sector. The Nafis program, which started in 2021, has a new goal: to have 36,000 citizens working in private companies by 2024, according to report. The budget for this was approved during a meeting chaired by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, who is a top official in the UAE government. During the Nafis meeting chaired by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, several ministers and board members were present. The meeting discussed the increase in Emiratis working in the private sector, which has gone up to 92,000 since the Nafis program began in September 2021. Around Dh4.2 billion has been paid to individuals enrolled in the Nafis program as of December last year. Sheikh Mansour praised the efforts made to meet Emiratisation goals and encouraged more citizens to work in the private sector. Various programs have been launched across different sectors to boost Emiratisation in private companies. Recently, UAE schools announced plans to hire more graduates as teachers to meet rising Emiratisation targets. HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, introduced a scholarship fund worth Dh1.1 billion to help Emirati students find jobs in the private sector. Last year, thousands of Emirati students participated in a job training scheme to encourage them to work in private companies. The Ministry of Human Resources, along with the Ministry of Education and the Education and Human Resources Council, launched a one-year pilot program to prepare students for future careers. This program will be expanded over the next five years to include more students. #Education #Emiratisation #graduates #UAE #billion #careers
