Al Wasl University, in cooperation with the Higher Colleges of Technology, launched the INJAZ Program in the Emirate of Dubai on (16/09/2013), and the second branch was opened in the Emirate of Fujairah on (23/02/2014). The program came in response to the “Absher” initiative launched by the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, may Allah bless his soul, and with the generous support of Mr. Juma Al Majid, and with the active follow-up of His Excellency – the University Chancellor to prepare and qualify national cadres of female citizens who have a high school qualification to provide them with practical and applied skills required for the labor market.
The program was launched successfully. The number of graduates from the two branches since its inception reached (1321).
Most of these graduates now occupy important seats in the public and private sectors, not to mention those who joined the Higher Colleges of Technology to obtain a bachelor’s degree within the framework of the encouragement and generous support of Mr. Juma Al Majid by allocating a monthly financial grant of two thousand dirhams to continue their university education.
The program has witnessed a vast improvement in its curricula, such as: (communication skills in Arabic and English, computer skills, mathematics, and other various work-related skills).
