Delivering impact through our strategic pillars Education is a cornerstone of ADNOC’s commitment to developing talent and supporting the UAE’s future workforce. Since 1974, we have built a comprehensive ecosystem of initiatives spanning the full talent lifecycle, from early education to workforce readiness. Our programs are structured across several key areas, including foundational education and STEM engagement, higher education and scholarship pathways and early- career development through internships and technical and vocational training. In partnership with academic institutions and strategic partnerships, we deliver academic excellence alongside practical, industry-relevant experience. We reached over 317,000 students by the end of 2025 since launching this approach in 2019, reflecting progress in expanding access to STEM education and building future- ready capabilities across the UAE. Growth and learning ADNOC’s Yas in Schools program brings the excitement of Formula 1® into classrooms across the UAE, using hands-on, project-based learning to make STEM subjects tangible and relevant for students. Delivered at Yas Marina Circuit, the program applies real-world motorsport concepts to develop STEM knowledge, teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills among ages 6 to 21. Through practical challenges, students design, build and test miniature Formula 1 cars; code agile 4x4 vehicles; and explore scientific principles through creative design and engineering activities. The program combines technical learning with applied skills such as collaboration, planning and innovation. In 2025, Yas in Schools engaged more than 28,500 students, providing early exposure to STEM disciplines and experiential learning that support future education and career pathways.

The ADNOC learning journey Marking its 10-year anniversary, the Polymer on the Move (POTM) initiative has become a cornerstone of Borouge’s youth engagement efforts, inspiring the next generation to explore STEM and sustainability. Since its launch, the program has evolved from reaching 8th-grade students in the UAE to engaging a broader audience across grades 7-12, universities and international participants in Singapore, India and China. Through interactive workshops, hands-on experiments and visits to the Borouge Innovation Centre in Abu Dhabi, participants gain practical exposure to polymer science and responsible material use, linking classroom learning with real-world applications. Building on this momentum, the initiative has expanded to include a credited polymer science discipline developed by Borouge PhD experts, further strengthening its role in shaping future engineers and scientists. In 2025, the initiative engaged over 570 students across 10 schools. Since its inception, the initiative has reached more than 80,000 students.
