An additional 22 Emirati nationals are currently entered into a development programme designed for recent university graduates. The degree holders who have entered the programme will receive 15 to 18 months of training in either operations or support depending on their desired career path.
"We are very proud ofthe new training programmes and the 48 trainees currently enrolled in them," said Ebrahim Al Hosani the General Manager of Emiratisation at EMAL. "At EMAL, we're very conscious of the role we play in diversifying the economy of the Emirate in line with the 2030 Vision for Abu Dhabi, but of equal importance is the opportunity, the obligation, we have to develop and feed human capital. Training programmes for Emirati nationals are not just job creation; they enable their participants to build a foundation of professional skills they need to build an entire career."
"New pre-employment courses on power plant operations and administration, designed for non-supervisory level employees, will start soon for 23 Emirati trainees", added Al Hosani.
Since its inception, EMAL has demonstrated a desire to be the first choice of employment for Emirati nationals from a variety of disciplines. Currently, 23 percent of supervisory positions within the plant and 10 percent of non-supervisory roles are held by Emirati nationals.
Recently, EMAL announced that they will offer full tuition scholarships to Emirati nationals majoring in three engineering programmes at accredited Universities in the UAE.

Emal:
EMAL is a joint venture (JV) between Dubai Aluminium Company Limited (DUBAL) and Mubadala Development Company (Mubadala) and was established in February 2007 to construct what will become the world's largest single site aluminium smelter complex. The project will be built in two phases and utilise DUBAL DX technology. Phase one started production in December 2009 and once finished EMAL will produce 750,000 tonnes of aluminium per annum and 1.5 million tonnes annually at the end of phase two. The aluminium complex, a 6sq km site in the Khalifa Port Industrial Zone in Al Taweelah, half way between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, will produce primary aluminium with a product mix of sow, standard ingot, tee ingot, extrusion billet and sheet ingot.
Being the largest industrial project in the UAE outside the oil and gas industry, the project will encourage economic diversification, creating downstream opportunities. This development will benefit the UAE economy, employing more than 17,000 local and international contractors/staff during construction and approximately 2,000 people direct employment during operations.
EMAL adheres to strict environmental standards set by the Abu Dhabi Environmental Agency, with state-of the-art emission control equipment including sulphur-dioxide scrubbers, the latest potroom gas treatment technology, the best-available gas turbine systems, and cooling towers to eliminate thermal stress on local marine life.
