The UAE Golden Jubilee Committee announced on Sunday the opening of its ‘Year of the 50th Fellowship’ program for applications from UAE citizens and residents across the UAE. The 11-month program commences in June 2021 and ends in April 2022.
The aim of this program is to provide the youth with exciting work opportunities in a number of disciplines, including project management, design and communications. Successful candidates will work closely with cross-functional internal teams and external parties that will develop their skills and expertise in one of five key areas: Project Management, Stakeholder Engagement, Design, Storytelling, Communications
Detailed descriptions of all positions and the entry requirements for each can be found by visiting https://uaeyearof.ae/fellowship. Interested applicants are invited to apply through the website by 7 June 2021. A selection committee will review all applications, and shortlisted fellows will be notified via email.
The programme is one of many planned initiatives that are being launched to engage the youth as the UAE celebrates its remarkable journey of the first 50 years and prepares for the transformative growth journey that lies ahead.
Earlier this year, president of the UAE Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan declared 2021 as ‘The Year of the 50th’ to commemorate 50 years since the nation’s founding in 1971. The ‘Year of the 50th’ officially runs from 6 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 to coincide with the UAE’s hosting of Expo 2020.
