This initiative is specifically designed to equip young Emirati high school graduates and engineering diploma holders with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the energy industry.

This comprehensive programme is part of Kent's ongoing commitment to contribute to the UAE's energy future, addressing current energy demands while also focusing on the urgent transition to net-zero emissions.

Participants will undergo a structured journey through three key phases, designed to build their expertise and prepare them for successful careers in the energy sector.

Phase 1: Foundational Training - Participants will begin with foundational knowledge in engineering and the energy industry, focusing on key topics such as safety, project management, and industry standards.

Phase 2: Design Software Proficiency - This phase will enhance participants’ proficiency in industry-leading design software, providing practical experience to create accurate and professional drafts.

Phase 3: Mastering Drafting/Designing - Participants will apply their skills in real-world scenarios, working on actual projects under the mentorship of Kent’s professionals to develop advanced design techniques.

"Our people are our backbone, and we are committed to championing and empowering them in every way possible. This programme reflects our vision of fostering local talent and helping them build meaningful careers while contributing to the sustainable growth of the UAE," said Touria Mohamed, Kent’s Senior Emiratisation Manager.

After completing the programme, participants will have the opportunity to join Kent's designer/drafter team, gaining valuable experience on diverse projects and advancing their careers within the energy sector.
