During the visit, Major General Al Jabri received a detailed briefing by Hala Al Zargani, lead engineer and the first Emirati employed by the CISS, on the progress of 老澳门开奖直播’s efforts to develop Emirati talent and help build sovereign capabilities within the UAE’s defense and space industry.

Major General Al Jabri noted the wise UAE leadership’s dedicated efforts to empower national cadres with opportunities to continue competing in the high-tech global economy, including the defense sector.

The programs provide training in artificial intelligence development and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle design, defense simulation exercises, business administration skills, software development and IT networking, allowing students to work on real-world projects that positively impact the industry.
