Obsessed with numbers and want to contribute to UAE’s growing economy? HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has launched the Young Economist Programme for future thinkers and entrepreneurs.
Established through the Federal Youth Authority, it is aimed at bilingual experts (Arabic and English) aged between 21 and 35. Applicants should hold an undergraduate degree in economics or related fields and can commit to a three-month scheme that will provide you with all the skills you need to jump-start your career and help shape nations ambitious plans.
“It is very important to engage the youth and equip them with the competencies needed to steer the future of our economy,” said the Crown Prince of Dubai.
I learned from @HHShkMohd that it is always a win to invest in our youth, and that the economy is like young people – ever-changing and transformative. The Young Economist Program will contribute to shaping expert talents and will invest in their dynamic energies and skillsets. pic.twitter.com/GfidcTgizI
