Al-Futtaim and ENDP Celebrate Successful Emiratization Partnership

Al-Futtaim Group has recently honored the employment division of the Emirates Nationals Development Programme (ENDP) for their efforts to support the group’s Emiratization drive.
Fifty job-seeking Nationals were hired by Al-Futtaim in 2009 as a result of its cooperation with ENDP, which operates under the umbrella of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai.
Hameed Al Haaj, Senior Administrative Affairs Manager at Al-Futtaim Group, presented an award to ENDP in its office and said it was well deserved: “ENDP’s efforts and collaboration with the private sector to promote the issue of Emiratization is indeed commendable.
“This will result in more job opportunities for Nationals from across the UAE, as well as increased awareness of the importance of the private sector. We hope this fruitful alliance will continue to promote our national strategy, and improve the quality of life for UAE citizens.”
Essa Al Mulla, Executive Manager of ENDP and Executive Director of National Workforce Development, said his team was grateful for the award and the commitment shown by their private sector partners.
“Al-Futtaim has always taken such initiatives; they are one of the staunchest supporters of the Emiratiztion cause,” he said. “Such recognition for ENDP will only boost morale and encourage our team to continue giving their very best.”
