Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed, a member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Office, has issued directives to expand career-building initiatives for Emiratis to focus on priority sectors.

The orders came during a meeting with Emiratis who are working in leading private companies after graduating from government upskilling programmes.

During the meeting, Sheikh Khalid spoke to young Emiratis about their experiences forging successful careers in the private sector, and expressed pride in their work to help drive forward the nation’s progress.

Mohammed Al Shorafa, chairman of the Department of Economic Development, and Ali Al Ketbi, chairman of the Department of Government Support, also attended the meeting.

Uefa Nations League: How it works

The Uefa Nations League, introduced last year, has reached its final stage, to be played over five days in northern Portugal. The format of its closing tournament is compact, spread over two semi-finals, with the first, Portugal versus Switzerland in Porto on Wednesday evening, and the second, England against the Netherlands, in Guimaraes, on Thursday.

The winners of each semi will then meet at Porto’s Dragao stadium on Sunday, with the losing semi-finalists contesting a third-place play-off in Guimaraes earlier that day.

Qualifying for the final stage was via League A of the inaugural Nations League, in which the top 12 European countries according to Uefa's co-efficient seeding system were divided into four groups, the teams playing each other twice between September and November. Portugal, who finished above Italy and Poland, successfully bid to host the finals.
