ABU DHABI- The Abu Dhabi School of Government (ADSG) and Abu Dhabi Global Market Academy (ADGM Academy) have launched the ‘Investment Foundations' programme, which seeks to equip Abu Dhabi government employees with knowledge and skills related to finance, ethics, and investment practices.
Targeting Abu Dhabi government employees working in the financial sector whose practical experience ranges between one and five years, the programme features a blend of interactive face-to-face training and remote learning, as well as group work, open debates, and tutorial support.

This programme is a fantastic opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the financial industry and to obtain skill sets that will enable them to perform well in their respective fields.’
He added, "Our programmes are designed to keep participants abreast of the latest developments and requirements of the present and future job market, thus, enabling their valuable contributions towards continued government excellence in the emirate and realising the UAE’ vision of building a knowledge-based economy."
