Al-Futtaim Group and Dubai College of Tourism host retail career workshop for Emiratis

The workshop was based on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that Al-Futtaim Group had earlier signed with DCT to further enhance cooperation between the two entities, specifically in training and providing employment to Emiratis in the hospitality and retail sectors.

Through the Retail Awareness Day workshop held under the motto ‘Here You Can’, Al-Futtaim Group provided participants with an overview of the industry, and tools to enhance their skills, as well as offering them an opportunity to explore potential job openings at Al-Futtaim. By creating a platform for networking and knowledge transfer, the group seeks to encourage Emiratis to pursue careers in the retail and hospitality sectors, as part of Al-Futtaim Group’s Emiratisation initiatives, and in support of the UAE’s great strides towards building a competitive knowledge economy.

Speaking about the Retail Awareness Day workshop, Hesham Ikhwan, HR Director, Al-Futtaim Retail, said: “We are committed to helping Emiratis advance their careers as part of our long-term strategy at Al-Futtaim Group. Providing training to UAE nationals within our workforce, we also extend the same opportunity to local talent with an interest in joining our group, with the goal of continuing to play an active role in reshaping the future of our nation’s youth.”
