Fujairah Government Partners With SAP to Boost Employee AI Skills

The Government of Fujairah and SAP have reinforced their strategic relationship through the launch of an AI-focused intensive training initiative for employees across multiple government entities. The SAP Young Professionals Program (YPP) in Fujairah will serve as an ongoing talent-development platform designed to equip participants with advanced technology and Business AI capabilities aligned with Fujairah’s long-term digital ambitions.

The first cohort commenced the intensive full-day training program on 18 May, with the initiative aiming to equip the next generation of government leaders and public sector professionals with advanced digital skills and enhance their practical capabilities in digital transformation and emerging technologies.

The initiative reflects the Emirate of Fujairah’s commitment to investing in human capital and preparing national talent capable of leading digital transformation. Through internationally recognized SAP technology certifications, the program aims to enhance government workforce capabilities, improve operational effectiveness, and strengthen the future readiness of government entities.

The initiative was announced during SAP Connect UAE earlier this month, where senior representatives from the Government of Fujairah and SAP discussed the importance of long-term investment in national talent development and AI-related skills to support the ongoing digital transformation of the public sector.

Sheikh Eng. Mohammed bin Hamad bin Saif Alsharqi said: “Developing national talent and equipping young professionals with advanced digital skills remains central to Fujairah’s vision of building a dynamic, technology-driven emirate. Through this collaboration with SAP, employees from across different government entities are gaining practical expertise in emerging technologies and Business AI, helping strengthen the capabilities needed to support innovation, operational excellence, and future government services.”

SAP’s Young Professionals Program is a global workforce readiness initiative that combines technical training, soft skills development, and SAP certification pathways to help participants build expertise in enterprise technologies. The program has supported young professionals across multiple countries and sectors, helping organizations strengthen digital capabilities in areas including cloud technologies, data, analytics, and AI-driven business processes.

Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director of SAP UAE, said: “The Government of Fujairah is placing significant emphasis on developing human capital and preparing government teams for the next phase of AI-enabled public services. Programs such as this highlight the value of sustained investment in skills development, ensuring employees across government sectors are equipped to help bring Fujairah’s broader digital vision to life while continuing to enhance services for the community.”
