Jousoor initiative launched to nurture skills of youth
abu dhabi — AlBayt Mitwahid, an initiative established by the staff of the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince’s Court has joined hands with Sandooq Al Watan and Al Khayarat Foundation, to launch the ‘Jousoor’ initiative.
Dr Ahmad bin Abdulla Humaid Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of State for Higher Education, LieutenantGeneral Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, deputy chief of Police and Public Security in Dubai and chairman of Al Watan Fund, announced the initiative in the presence of a number of senior officials.
Jousoor serves as a strong catalyst for developing their career skills to explore opportunities in the private sector. The initiative represents an ideal model for effective partnerships to create the right environment for young professionals to integrate into the private sector. It targets university students from the UAE — new graduates and graduates who complete their studies at local universities or outside the country with a high degree of competency.
Lt-Gen Tamim said: “The initiative is an example of the partnership of the public and private sectors to train national cadres to start a career path equipped with the right qualifications and skills for achieving success. It also allows us to identify the best natioal talent and develop their capacity for serving as active contributors to advancing sustainable and integrated development.”
Saif Al Qubaisi, chairman of Al Bayt Mitwahid Association, expressed delighted to launch the third edition of Jousoor. He said that the programme is aimed at developing the basic skills and abilities required for students in the private sector and providing them with practical experience through their direct contact with institutions.
Najla Al-Midfa, founder of Khayarat, said: “Khayarat is proud of our collaboration with Sandooq Al Watan and AlBayt Mitwahid for the Jousoor initiative, to help young Emirati students and graduates achieve their full potential. This constitutes an important part in achieving a better future by encouraging Emirati youth to take up rewarding careers in the private sector.”
Jousoor will be an important step in increasing the participation of highly skilled Emiratis in the private sector. It will contribute to enhancing the skills of university students and strengthen their awareness of careers in the private sector.
The initiative will be implemented in several stages and includes an internship programme and workshops by leading private companies. The initiative’s strategic partners include major local institutions and universities as well as the Emirates Youth Council, UAE embassies abroad and leading local and international companies. —Wam
