The UAE government's initiative to finance Emiratisation programmes and policies, aimed at encouraging Emiratis to join the job market, illustrates long-term vision for the betterment of the people.
The venture is not just an idea waiting to bear fruit: the process of developing the idea has already begun, with a view to supporting the policy of empowerment and boosting economic and social development in the country.
Emiratis will be the rightful beneficiaries and they in turn should realise the benefits of this programme and work towards achieving their professional goals, especially in the private sector.
Having the will to work is just the first step. This aspiration should be fuelled further by sufficient training and a range of possible support systems so that the Emirati who is a self-starter can enter the workplace and start contributing positively. The people should meet the government halfway as it provides them with the tools for success.
