Through this initiative, the municipality aims to attract talented Emirati students, enhance their scientific knowledge, offer them practical experience, and equip them with the necessary tools to face future challenges successfully.
The ‘Future Talents’ scholarship program prioritizes disciplines that align with Dubai Municipality’s employment fields, ensuring the enhancement of its workforce sustainability.
