The event was attended by Dr Yousef Al Akraf, Executive Vice President of Business Support and Human Resources at DEWA, who commended the students on their efforts and excellence, wishing them further success to contribute towards DEWA achieving its objectives.
Al Tayer highlighted the importance of DEWA’s scholarship programme for Emirati students. The programme’s students will take the country’s energy sector to the next level of growth and progress.

“Developing potential is one of the most important elements to keep national staff. DEWA launched scholarships for its Emirati employees in different required specialties. We have adopted a clear strategy in developing and training UAE nationals by providing appropriate skills as per the needs of DEWA.
We are the leading government department to launch various training programmes for our national students wishing to complete their studies within and outside the country in various areas of energy. DEWA’s scholarship programmes in some of the best universities in the UAE and abroad, have proved to be significant in enhancing academic performance and professional excellence. This in turn, supports our strategy to enhance Emiratisation by developing and supporting talented Emiratis and prepare them to take leadership,” said Al Tayer.

This prepares them to help achieve DEWA’s vision and strategies, and transforming Dubai into the smartest city in the world. DEWA’s Emiratisation strategy prepares and trains both male and female Emirati students,” said Al Akraf, commending the efforts of employees enrolled in DEWA’s scholarships.
