The Government will support suitable modification and extension of strategies to generate employment opportunities for Emiratis, the Executive Council says in its latest policy agenda.

"The Government must create a greater number of meaningful employment opportunities for UAE nationals in order to meet future demand. Continued educational reform will represent an important parallel strategy for achieving this goal," stated the document setting out the policy agenda for 2007-08.

"Government entities will also make emiratisation goals a standard requirement in the awarding of major contracts [oil and gas contracts, power generation contracts and major defence procurements]," it added.
