Launched in April 2020 in partnership with the Department of Community Development, Aldar Properties, Aldar Education and Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination, the Bond funds a 12-month programme to provide education and vocational skills to 25 People of Determination students before moving them into work placements and eventually permanent employment. By November 2020, all 25 students had passed the theoretical learning stage and successfully completed a second interview with potential employers in preparation for the final stage of the programme, a 6-month internship. The internships provide a critical opportunity for students to apply their theoretical knowledge and gain real-life, practical skills and experience in a business environment. In February 2020, Aldar signed a strategic agreement with Ma’an, the Authority of Social Contribution, to build the Gulf Co-operation Council’s first Social Impact Bond. We invested AED 2 million in the ground-breaking ATMAH programme, which aims to increase employment opportunities for People of Determination in Abu Dhabi, by equipping them with employability skills and helping them secure permanent employment. Through this collaboration, we are proud to be harnessing the untapped potential of people of determination and promoting a more diverse and inclusive workforce in Abu Dhabi.
