As part of this program, the Ministry of Culture will place up to 300 interns annually across various fields, including

contribute meaningfully to ongoing projects and initiatives.

The Ministry of Culture affirmed its commitment to nurturing Emirati talent by providing a stimulating training

environment that enables trainees to contribute to the sustainable development journey and enhance the role of the
cultural and creative industries as a fundamental pillar for achieving the ‘UAE Vision 2030,’ which aims to build a

diversified and sustainable economy based on knowledge and innovation.

The program will commence in the third quarter of 2025 with 50 interns, expand to 100 interns in the fourth quarter,
and conclude in September 2026.

In 2024, the Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with ‘Nafis,’ successfully facilitated the employment of 485 male and

female UAE citizens through the ‘Creatives for Employment’ program.
