Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre Launches Bunaa Programme to Empower Emirati Graduates in Partnership with Private Sector

ADM NEWS | Derived from the Arabic term for builders, the Bunaa programme reflects the country’s spirit of nation-building and embodies ADPIC’s belief that the UAE’s greatest asset is its people. The programme is rooted in the values of growth, resilience and responsibility, seeking to equip Emiratis with the knowledge, technical skills and practical experience required to shape Abu Dhabi’s future development.

Throughout the programme, participants will benefit from structured mentorship, applied learning, and access to professional certifications. The combination of hands-on experience and accredited training is designed to strengthen their technical expertise whilst preparing them to assume future leadership roles.

HE Eng. Maysarah Mahmoud Eid, Director General of ADPIC, said: “Inspired by the vision of our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who taught us that the true wealth of any nation lies in its people, Bunaa represents a vital investment in our human capital.

Through this programme, we are building the next generation of Emirati leaders who will design, manage, and deliver the world-class projects shaping our emirate. It establishes a sustainable talent ecosystem, ensuring that our most ambitious visions for Abu Dhabi are realised by our own skilled professionals.” Registration for the Bunaa programme is now open and UAE nationals wishing to apply or obtain further information are invited to contact JoinBunaa@adpic.gov.ae for additional information.
