Dubai: Dubai Municipality has started to invite applications for the ‘Future Talents’ scholarship program. The scholarship program aims to welcome and guide UAE national university students from various scientific disciplines.
The initiative comes as part of Dubai Municipality’s efforts to provide university students with promising opportunities, enhance the growth of their skills, and support the Emiratisation policy in the Emirate of Dubai.
According to Ms. Aisha Al Hammadi, Director of the Human Resources Department at Dubai Municipality, the scholarship program supports the Emiratisation policy in Dubai and is consistent with the measures undertaken by Dubai Municipality to put its wise leadership’s directives into practice.
Through this program, we hope to attract talented Emirati students, develop their abilities, broaden their scientific knowledge, offer them practical experience, and equip them with the tools necessary to tackle the challenges of the future. These initiatives further complement our commitment to the advancement of our workforce and expansion of specialised careers across Dubai Municipality’s fields of work.
