PureHealth, the largest healthcare platform in the Middle East, is set to launch Emirati student and graduate trainee programmes with the aim of strengthening Emiratisation in the UAE’s healthcare sector. 

 

The programmes are part of the Emirati Development Centre, a unique initiative initiated by PureHealth in line with the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Open to graduate and undergraduate students in the clinical, pharmaceutical, nursing, and management fields, the Emirati Development Centre will offer student and graduate trainee programmes, helping to foster a sustainable Emirati healthcare workforce. 

 

To offer a diverse range of learning experiences and accommodate various academic schedules and career aspirations, the Graduate Trainee Programme lasts for 12 months while the Student Trainee Programme is for a short, flexible term. Both programmes will provide young, local talent with opportunities to start and accelerate their career by enabling personal and professional development through on-the-job training and learning from experiences.

 

Healthcare leaders

Rashed Al Qubaisi, Chief Corporate Officer, PureHealth, commented: “At PureHealth, our core mission is to nurture the next generation of healthcare leaders. Our focus lies in equipping them with vital practical skills and knowledge gained through hands-on experiences and real-world projects. We maintain a steadfast commitment to fostering a strong and highly skilled national healthcare workforce, with the ultimate goal of driving advancements within the healthcare sector in the UAE. 

 

“Our efforts play a key role in supporting Abu Dhabi’s Economic Vision 2030, as well as national economic plans to achieve greater self-sufficiency, we are proud of our collaborations with esteemed academic institutions which play a key role in supporting our endeavors.”

 

As the Emirati Development Centre expands its mission beyond internal talent development, PureHealth has established partnerships with leading universities with the aim of building a sustainable pool of Emirati talent, nurturing the growth of young leaders who will shape the future of the healthcare industry and make a positive impact on communities throughout the UAE. To ensure the selection of the best candidates for these programmes, shortlisted applicants will undergo various interviews and assessments.
