Dubai Municipality has shared that it has hired nearly 140 Emiratis as part of its ‘Our Human Resources, Our Pride’ initiative in 2023.
The initiative, which brings together Emiratis from a range of disciplines, including engineering, technical, and administrative, aims to increase the percentage of Emiratisation in the technical and field areas associated with municipal fields of work.
Further, Dubai Municipality shared that the ‘Our Human Resources, Our Pride initiative is designed to provide employees with the requisite skills, knowledge, and expertise to improve their professional and personal growth further.
Wesam Lootah, CEO of Corporate Support Services Sector, commented: “Dubai Municipality has been successful in effectively raising the Emiratization percentage within its workforce through the ‘Our Human Resources, Our Pride’ initiative. More than 140 Emiratis have been recruited by the Municipality across various positions, ranging from inspectors and controllers of construction, food safety, and health and safety operations, since 2019.”
Dubai Municipality has also recruited numerous Emirati cadres in the previous year through the Ru’ya (Careers UAE) exhibition and the ‘Open Day for Employment’ event organised at the Municipality’s vocational training academy.
This is in addition to other initiatives and programs, including the ‘Future Talents’ for scholarship, ‘Future competencies’ for summer training in the various disciplines of the Municipality, and ‘Pioneers’ for fresh graduates and a series of training programs it launched, aimed at developing the abilities and skills of its young leadership.
