Abu Dhabi: The UAE Offset Group has announced a new project for human resource development to help achieve the country's goal of nationalisation of jobs in the public and private sectors.
The institution, Tadreeb (The National Training LLC), set up through Offset Fund Alfia, will focus on introducing international standards to vocational and professional training throughout the UAE and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Mohammad Al Mazroui, CEO of the UOG, while announcing the launch of the institution said: "Tadreeb is another example of how private sector companies could contribute to capacity building, in a sustaining and efficient manner, in key strategic sectors. Training is the key to Emiratisation."
Medical fields
Tadreeb's first action is to acquire the National Simulation and Training Centre (NSTC), an UAE company that has over 350 medical-certified trainers in trauma and emergency medicine.
NSTC has trained over 4,000 medical professionals in certified programmes over the past three years.
Tadreeb chairman, Saif Al Hajeri, who is also Acting Director of the UOG's Offset Ventures Unit, said: "We see many training opportunities beyond the medical fields that can be pursued under Tadreeb, and we feel that our competitive advantage is quality."
Al Hajeri added that certified programmes that require objective tests are essential for assuring that the UAE has a globally competitive workforce and Tadreeb's mission is to bring those programmes to the UAE.
He said: "Tadreeb is targeted to fill the gap between education and actual job requirements and assure that when new standards are developed, UAE professionals are certified to those standards through continuing education."
