Talented Emiratis being primed to lead the UAE into the future

A “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to help lead the UAE into the future with the support of some of the country’s brightest minds.

The National Experts Programme was launched by President Sheikh Mohamed, in 2019 when he was crown prince of Abu Dhabi, to equip talented citizens with the knowledge and skills to shape the nation’s development on the international stage for years to come.

The eight-month mentorship scheme pairs high achievers with industry leaders, chief executives and government ministers who share their experiences and expertise to provide a platform for success.

Applicants must have 10 years’ experience, including five in their sector, and should have contributed to important national projects.

Applications for the third edition of the initiative, which is focused on economic growth, social development, and sustainability and infrastructure, are now being accepted through the NEP website.
