DUBAI, 28th August, 2026 (WAM) -- Dubai Customs has marked the graduation of 36 students from its "Masar 33 – Nafis" and "Dubai Summer Camp" programmes, aimed at introducing young people to career opportunities and preparing national talent for future labour market needs.The programmes brought together 26 students in Dubai Summer Camp and ten in Masar 33 – Nafis, with the participation of 12 government and private-sector entities, including five government bodies and seven private organisations.The graduation ceremony was attended by representatives of government and private-sector entities, strategic partners, students and their parents.Participants gained practical experience, career guidance and exposure to different professions and specialisations, helping them identify their interests and understand the skills required across growing economic sectors. Masar 33 provided a month of training and direct workplace exposure.The initiative supports the objectives of Masar 33 – Nafis by strengthening early career guidance for national talent and connecting education and skills development with economic needs, in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.Mohammed Al Ghaffari, Executive Director of the Customs Inspection Division at Dubai Customs, said, "We see today's graduation not as the end of a training experience, but as the start of a new kind of awareness."He added that early exposure helps students better understand their abilities, interests and available opportunities, enabling them to make more informed educational and career decisions.Al Ghaffari stressed that preparing future generations is a shared responsibility involving government, the private sector, communities and families, noting that partnerships provide students with direct workplace experience and connect their learning with skills required by the economy.Khamis Al Muhairi, Director of Human Resources and Acting Director of the Dubai Logistics Academy at Dubai Customs, said the participation of 12 government and private entities demonstrated the importance of partnerships in providing training closely aligned with labour market realities."Our goal isn't just to introduce students to different jobs – it's to help them understand the skills and responsibilities that professional life demands, and give them an early chance to test their interests and abilities in a range of real-world settings," he said.Dubai Customs commended the participation of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, Emirati Human Resources Development Council-Dubai, Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council "Nafis", Furjan Dubai and the Higher Colleges of Technology, alongside the participating private-sector organisations.It also highlighted the role of parents in supporting students' educational and career choices, stressing the importance of cooperation between institutions, families, training providers and the labour market in developing national human capital.

Etihad's Huda Al Musallami becomes first Emirati woman training captain

ABU DHABI, 28th August, 2026 (WAM) -- Etihad Airways has announced that Captain Huda Al Musallami has become the first Emirati woman to qualify as a training captain in the UAE, marking a new milestone for national aviation.The announcement coincides with Emirati Women's Day and makes Al Musallami the first Emirati woman entrusted with training and qualifying pilots to the highest standards of safety and professionalism.Al Musallami began her aviation career in 2003 and joined Etihad Airways in 2014. She progressed from First Officer to Captain in 2023 before qualifying as a Type Rating Instructor in 2026.She holds a current type rating on the Boeing 787 and has accumulated more than 10,000 flying hours, having previously flown the Airbus A330, A340 and Boeing 777.Al Musallami also holds a Bachelor's degree in Aviation Management and a Master's degree in Business Management and Information Systems.She said, "Being the first means stepping forward before there is a path to follow. When there is no map, you learn to navigate with purpose, turn challenges into strength and keep moving towards what once seemed beyond reach."She added, "For me, being first was never about the title. It is about making sure I am not the last, and opening the way for more Emirati women to rise, excel and go even further."In her new role, Al Musallami trains and qualifies the next generation of pilots, having already worked with pilots of different nationalities and experience levels.Dr. Nadia Bastaki, Chief People, Government and Corporate Affairs Officer of Etihad Airways, said, "Captain Huda's milestone is a powerful expression of what becomes possible when talent, determination and opportunity come together."She added that Al Musallami's achievement reflects the UAE leadership's vision to empower Emirati women and Etihad's commitment to developing national talent to the highest levels of the aviation industry.Emirati women currently represent 75 percent of all UAE nationals in Etihad's workforce and contribute across the airline's operations, from the flight deck to senior leadership.Etihad said it will continue investing in Emirati women across aviation, engineering and leadership, supporting the next generation to build on milestones such as Al Musallami's achievement.

Ajman Ruler hails Emirati Women’s Day as symbol of pride, progress

AJMAN, 28th August, 2026 (WAM) -- H.H.

Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, "Mother of the Nation", Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, for establishing the framework that empowers Emirati women while preserving societal identity and values.Sheikh Humaid affirmed that the upcoming phase requires expanding opportunities for new generations of women, maintaining family cohesion, and harnessing the potential of all citizens to shape a prosperous future."We take pride in every Emirati woman who has dedicated her knowledge, work, and efforts to advancing her nation.
