Saqr bin Ghobash Saeed Ghobash, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, issued the decree on Wednesday, also granting students in training similar benefits and advantages as employees in the same positions, including overtime pay and holidays.
The decree aims to protect student rights and supervise the employment process between companies and students, and their adherence to the contract signed. Ghobash said that the decree is to "develop human resource and invest their capabilities to enhance productivity and participation in the labour market."
