MoHRE prog to help students purse training in private sector

Dubai / WAM

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) launched an online form to help students pursue training courses in the private sector.
The free electronic form, which is available on the ministry’s website and its smartphone app, “Wajjehni”, is in line with Decree No. 713 of 2016, issued by Saqr bin Ghobash Saeed Ghobash, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, and supports work training in the private sector.
Aisha Belharfia, Director of the Labour Offices Department in Dubai, said that in order to pursue a training course at a company in the private sector, “the company must first be cleared from any irregularities and applicants must be over 12 and less than 18 years old.”
Students applying for “Juvenile Work Permits” must be aged between 15-18, and applications for those could be found through Tas’heel service centres or
via the ministry’s smartphone application.
Training programmes are set for three months from the starting date, and the contract is to be submitted to the ministry for approval prior to the signature from both ends. The ministry also said that an e-signature card is mandatory to process the company’s request to enroll students.
To apply, students must attach a copy of their passport, residency (non-nationals), a no objection letter from parents or guardians, personal photos, in addition to a signed agreement with the company.
