HE Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has celebrated the first batch of ‘Tamkeen with the RTA’ program comprising 16 female graduates. The Program had been launched in line with The Year of Zayed and The Year of Giving declared by HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE. The Programme has enabled 13 graduates to get jobs in the RTA and other entities after completing the theoretical and practical training.
“Tamkeen with the RTA is one of the dividends of RTA initiatives launched in support of The Year of Giving. As part of its social responsibility, the RTA has introduced this program to train Emirati female graduates who haven’t found jobs for a year since graduation. The intention was to give these graduates training and exposure to administrative practices to qualify and give then confidence to enter the job market. It focused on honing their skills and abilities to undertake job assignments compatible with their academic backgrounds. The process illustrates RTA’s keenness to play an active role in Emiratisation of jobs and provide competent cadres for the job market,” said Al Tayer.
“Besides its role in constructing roads & bridges, undertaking various transport projects and running smart traffic systems, the RTA is equally keen to qualify human resources as part of its responsibility in the development drive. In line with its strategic goals, the RTA seeks to become the first career option for qualified human resources; which can be realised through higher competitiveness in attracting highly qualified professionals,” added Al Tayer.
It is noteworthy that the RTA had launched last year Tamkeen with the RTA program with the aim of offering a six-month training to male and female Emirati graduates who haven’t got job after one year since their graduation, in order to help them get a placement. The attending graduates have received specialist lectures on behavioural and administrative skills, and training on various sectors and agencies of the RTA to give them more practical experience.
