Microsoft to upskill UAE nationals in new Emiratisation initiative

Microsoft will offer internship and secondment opportunities at the company to UAE nationals, under a newly signed MoU with the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR).

The tech giant, under its Tomoh programme, will provide Emiratis with training and on-the-job skills by shadowing Microsoft employees as well as offering them professional certification courses to boost their careers.

The Tomoh programme seeks to boost UAE's Emiratisation efforts and focused on three pillars: 'Learn at Microsoft' - that offers internship and secondment opportunities to UAE nationals and involves acquiring globally-recognised skills. 'Work at Microsoft' - an opportunity for Emiratis to pursue careers at Microsoft, either through direct hiring of experienced Emirati professionals or under the 'Microsoft Aspire Experience', designed for fresh graduates. Additionally, Skill-Up Digitally enrolls students, job seekers and entrepreneurs
