The National Human Resources Development and Employment Authority (Tanmia), recently held a graduation ceremony for 20 UAE National jobseekers who attended a secretarial training program conducted by Tanmia, with the support of Roadstead General Contracting. The training program was conducted in the facilities of Dubai Police.
Engineer Salem Sultan, Board Member, Roadstead General Contracting, said, “UAE Nationals have shown that they have the potential to excel in every field of work. By providing required training in basic communication and IT skills these individuals can explore new avenues in the job market and enhance their career path. We are committed to support the Emiratisation efforts of Tanmia, which have created numerous job opportunities for UAE Nationals.”
“Tanmia is glad that several companies from the private sector are coming forward to support our training programs for National job seekers,” said Essa Al Zaabi, Manager of Dubai Office, Tanmia. “The importance of secretarial training has amplified today, with the increased reliance on technology based communication tools. The computerization of the office environment has resulted in wider roles for secretaries, given the increasing responsibility and autonomy. Secretaries are now expected to have higher skill levels, and this training program was conducted in line with the latest trends in the job market.”
Roadstead General Contracting is a Dubai based contracting company specialised in roads and earth moving projects. The company has been involved in several prestigious projects in the UAE, including The Palm Jumeriah and The Palm Jebel Ali projects.
