His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, presided at the first meeting of the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council’s (ETCC) Board of Directors in 2024. The meeting was attended by H.H. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vice Chair of the ETCC Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors approved an expected budget of AED6.4 billion for the Nafis program in 2024. The meeting also adopted 2024 Emiratisation targets for the private sector, consistent with UAE leadership instructions and the Council’s plan. This crucial goal calls for 36,000 Emirati citizens to enter the private sector this year.
The Board of Directors examined the Council’s and Nafis’ most significant achievements in 2023, intending to increase citizen participation in the business sector. By the end of 2023, the number of citizens in the private sector had risen to almost 92,000, with more than 62,000 joining the private sector after the introduction of Nafis and remaining employed until the end of 2023.
