Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has signed two Memoranda of Understanding with the Canadian University – Dubai (CUD) and the University of Sharjah (UOS). The MoUs call for stepping up cooperation in academic affairs, training, scholarships, scientific research and artificial intelligence. The step will hone the skills of employees and support the academic path of university students as well. 


Yousif AlReda, CEO of Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector, signed on behalf of RTA; Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Canadian University- Dubai, signed on behalf of CUD; and Prof. Dr. Muammar Baltayeb, Deputy Director of the University of Sharjah for Scientific Research and Graduate Studies, signed for UOS. 


“The signing of the MoUs will boost the cooperation between RTA and each of the two universities in scientific fields, envisioning the future, innovation and training. It fits well with the seventh principle of the Governing Principles of Dubai (A Land for Talent) to make Dubai a rich ground for intellects and innovators,” said AlReda.


“RTA will associate the names of the two universities with the academic programmes offered to employees along with links for study options available to employees. RTA will also provide internships for university students and recruit them in vacancies, as needed. 


“The MoUs also provide for the two universities to admit nominated employees to academic and executive programmes as per the applicable admission requirements. These universities also pledged to offer discounts on tuition fees for admitted employees, and invite RTA to take part in Career Fairs held they hold. Joint cooperation will also extend to include research and studies in line with the policies of the three entities,” added AlReda.


“The Canadian University – Dubai is excited with the signing of this MoU with RTA as it is in line with the University programmes for innovation and digital technology. It also opens the door for obtaining further studies on scholarship programmes, and offers students practical exposure through internships,” said Al Ghandi. 


“University of Sharjah is proud to sign this MoU with RTA as it promises to boost the UoS approved programmes for envisioning the future. It paves the way for commissioning joint studies and advancing the digitization of transportation in Dubai and the UAE in general,” said Baltayeb.


“Moreover, this partnership offers excellent scholarships and avails students of practical training on key development projects. At the end of the day, it will generate a positive outcome to the academic qualification of students and career progression of affiliates,” he added.
