The nine-month program, introduced in October 2016, is being offered by
Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), which specializes in the construction, repair and refit of naval, military and commercial vessels.
Those enrolled in the program will receive 1,120 hours of practical and theoretical training. They then will be evaluated to determine which of them will focus on electrical skills and which will receive more mechanical training.
"In line with the government’s vision of fostering Emirati talent, we are committed to developing ship building and technical capabilities in the UAE," ADSB CEO Khaled Al Mazrouei said. "The new training program offers an exciting career path for Emirati youth within an industry that is contributing to the wider economic development of Abu Dhabi."
