DUBAI: A cohort of 30 Emirati university graduates have passed a rigorous selection process to embark on a training course that will set them up for long-term career success in the fast-paced world of cloud computing, thanks to a collaborative initiative between the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) and global technology company SAP. The program will kick-off at SAP's offices located in the tech-centric ecosystem Dubai Internet City, a member of TECOM Group PJSC.

The training initiative was inspired by discussions at a meeting earlier this year between H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Minister of Finance and Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and SAP’s global CEO Christian Klein. At this meeting, the importance of developing young Emirati talent was raised, ultimately leading to the launch of the SAP Young Professionals Program tailored for recently graduated Emiratis from multiple entities including the Dubai Health Authority, Roads & Transport Authority, Al-Futtaim Group, Dubai Customs and Emirates Group.
