Sheikh Mansour praised the Council's efforts and achievements over the past period, highlighting the qualitative initiatives aimed at supporting and empowering Emirati talent to work in the private sector.
He said that the Nafis programme embodies the vision of the UAE's leadership to empower citizens and prepare them for the future.
Over the past four years, he added, it has demonstrated that investing in national talent is the true path to strengthening the UAE's competitiveness regionally and globally.
Sheikh Mansour noted that national talent will remain at the heart of the country’s priorities, supported by targeted programmes designed to meet labour market requirements, and by dynamic partnerships that reflect UAE's commitment to building a knowledge-based economy led by people first. He further said that the Council's new strategy will continue to provide a stimulating and innovative work environment.
