    Overview

    A central aspect of the Al Qasimi Foundation’s mission is to strengthen the capabilities of individuals and institutions across Ras Al Khaimah through impactful learning experiences. Established in 2024, the Foundation’s Learning and Development Function focuses on designing, implementing, and supporting professional development programs that equip government employees, job seekers, and its staff with future-ready skills. With an expanding array of initiatives, such as leadership development, certification pathways, and youth employability programs, we strive to cultivate a skilled, engaged, and empowered workforce. Many of our offerings are developed in collaboration with local organizations and global experts, while we also partner across Foundation departments to provide internal staff with opportunities for growth, wellbeing, and excellence. We are dedicated to fostering a culture of continuous learning across the emirate, supporting talent at all stages of their development journey.

    Emiratization & Career Support

    The Foundation supports the career development of Emirati youth by partnering with job seekers and employers across the UAE. We aid students, recent graduates, and Al Qasimi Foundation scholars in securing internships and full-time employment by connecting them with relevant opportunities through our network of employer partnerships. At the same time, we engage with government, private, and nonprofit organizations to understand their hiring needs and provide access to qualified Emirati candidates. Through tailored support such as CV clinics, interview preparation, and job readiness workshops, we foster a confident and skilled local workforce that contributes to the UAE’s national Emiratization goals.

    Ras Al Khaimah Jobs and Internships Festival

    Ras Al Khaimah Jobs and Internships Festival (RAKJIF) serves as a cornerstone of the Foundation’s efforts to connect Emirati talent with meaningful employment opportunities. Annually organized, the Festival gathers job seekers and employers for a day filled with networking, interviews, and career readiness support. It is part of our broader commitment to advancing workforce development and Emiratization.
