Quote by His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA on International Youth Day

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer. MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority

The world celebrates International Youth Day on 12th August, and at Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), we consider this day an opportunity to affirm our commitment to supporting our youth by highlighting their role in the comprehensive sustainable development. Our plans and initiatives to empower them, build their capacities and unleash their creativity, are inspired by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. This vision states that the youth are the hope for the present and the future, as well as being the most valuable resource of the UAE. His Highness once observed, ‘Building the youth is a priority. The UAE's future is in their hands, and with them, we do not only create a better future, but the better future.’

At DEWA, we believe that our success is built by our youth. We depend upon them to achieve the number one rank. We are committed to engaging them in shaping the country’s future, with a vision to be at the forefront of organisations to sponsor and support youth. In addition to contributing to the promotion of national identity and good citizenship, DEWA’s Youth Council was launched with the aim of enhancing young people’s engagement in DEWA and society. In this way, we can benefit from their abilities, opinions and ideas.

DEWA adopts a clear strategy to develop and train national cadres. This includes granting scholarships to students to complete their studies inside and outside the country. Through the DEWA Campus for Occupational and Academic Development, we seek to train and qualify young people scientifically and practically in fields of electrical and mechanical engineering, maintenance and operation.

We are keen to provide a stimulating and positive work environment that embraces the youth and enables them to contribute to DEWA’s vision to become a sustainable and innovative world-class utility. We will continuously support our youth to achieve the UAE Centennial 2071, so that future generations can live happier lives in a better environment, with greater opportunities and more effective global communications.
