“A variety of training and vocational programmes have been designed for RTA’s training centre to support the Emiratisation drive. They include Edaad) programme, which qualifies and trains several Emirati graduates and offers them placements in the RTA. This two-year program ensures the deployment of well-trained Emiratis capable of contributing to sustainable development. The programme has extra features such as specialist practical training, provided the students achieve distinction. We also have the Tamkeen programme designed to deliver a 6-month training to graduate Emiratis who spent a year without joining a job since graduation. It aims to prepare them for the job market in various fields,” added Al Akraf.
