The memorandum of understanding signed with Du, one of the largest telecom operators in the UAE, directly supports this vision by combining labor development with future oriented digital economy jobs.

The agreement focuses on professional training and practical employment channels, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional skills and ensure that UAE talents can be qualified for the posts that support UAE’s continuous innovation and competitiveness.
