M42 has signed a partnership with ADGM Academy to offer educational and practical training programmes for Emirati professionals over the next few years in support of the UAE’s vision to upskill UAE Nationals and prepare them to further contribute to the nation’s growth and prosperity.
The signing ceremony took place at ADGM Academy, where Abdulla Al Suwaidi, Member of the ADGM Academy Board of Directors and Faisal Al Mulla, Acting Group Chief Human Capital Officer at M42, presented an overview of the partnership’s objectives.
The partnership aims to create an educational hub to train the next generation of Emirati professionals across various heath-tech job roles and enhance the skills of current employees to adapt to evolving market demands.
The collaboration will be integrated into the National Development Programme and the Financial Job Centre to provide crucial knowledge and skills to both existing and emerging Emirati talent within M42. New programmes and courses will be developed in alignment with identified skillsets, addressing key competencies required by the industry.
