Through strategic partnerships with the government and private sectors, we aim to create more opportunities for UAE Nationals and ensure their meaningful participation in the country’s economic growth and development. This commitment aligns with our wise leadership’s vision of empowering local talent and enhancing their contribution to the sustainable development process. By urging private sector companies to prioritize employing Nationals, we are not only investing in the future of our youth but also enhancing economic sustainability through a diverse workforce.”

Industry sources also confirmed that the partnership builds on the achievements of ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) program which has created 11,500 jobs for UAE Nationals in the private sector since it was launched in 2018.
