The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) today launched the first phase of the 'Tamkeen' initiative to nurture UAE 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 is set to increase the percentage of Emiratisation in technical jobs by engaging and training approximately 60 Emirati graduates in its first phase. The comprehensive training program, designed for specialisations 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.
