Tawazun’s latest talent development initiative, the
Piling Program, targets fresh UAE graduate engineers
from the mechanical, aerospace, and electrical
engineering fields. The 12-month program sees
participants undergo an intensive development
curriculum which is based on 20% theory and 80%
practice. The “hands on” residency program will see
students work on case studies and engineering projects
to enhance their team building, experiential learning,
critical thinking, problem solving, decision making as
well as project planning and management skills.
At the final stage of the program and as part
of their technical training in the area of system
engineering, students will design and build a device
of their own choosing after submitting a proposal.
Examples include a mobile robot with a manipulation
mechanism to achieve a mission, a 4-DOF robotic
arm, or a flying platform powered by air jets. They
will be asked to design against certain specifications,
go through design review exercises, and work against
challenging deadlines.
The programs aims to develop a post graduate
talent pool of engineers with the knowledge, skills,
and experience to serve Tawazun, its subsidiaries
and the nation’s strategic manufacturing sector.
Successful candidates will be recruited to join a
rigorous development engineering program to work
alongside local and international partners. Based on
their capabilities and potential, Tawazun will design an
ambitious career path for each individual. Successful
candidates will have customized competitive packages
and benefits once they join the development program,
which will see them based in the Tawazun Industrial Park.
The Piling program has been designed to allow
graduates to develop transferable skills and
knowledge that will enable them to obtain
qualifications in other areas of engineering.
