UAE MOCCAE unveils Phase 1 of ‘Tamkeen’ Initiative to support Emiratization

UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) has launched Phase I of the ‘Tamkeen’ initiative to nurture the UAE’s nationals and bolster their role in advancing the country’s food security by providing them with cutting-edge skills, expertise, experiences, and the latest best practices in agriculture, veterinary, and associated technical fields.

The initiative will increase the percentage of Emiratization in technical jobs by engaging and training approximately 60 Emirati graduates in its first phase.

The comprehensive training program, designed for those specializations in agriculture, veterinary medicine, veterinary sciences, and animal production, will be carried out across three cohorts of 20 graduates each and conclude by the end of 2025. Exceptional participants will be handpicked for employment opportunities in a range of ministerial sectors and locations across the UAE.
