A candidate being interviewed at Careers UAE 2016

Dubai Parks and Resorts appoints 744 Emirati employees

DUBAI, UAE , June 15, 2016

Dubai Parks and Resorts, touted to become the Middle East’s largest integrated theme park destination on its opening in October, has appointed 744 Emirati employees since the launch of its ambitious Emiratisation programme.

The announcement follows a highly successful three-day attendance at Careers UAE 2016, where 147 Emirati candidates accepted offers of employment, a press release said.

Dubai Parks and Resorts set out an ambitious Emiratisation plan last year to recruit 1,000 Emiratis. The company’s extensive Emiratisation programme comprises three initiatives - Forsati, Sahim, and Helmi – to offer Emiratis of all career levels, from new graduates to future leaders, an inspiring range of job opportunities.

Its recruitment team has been hard at work raising the profile of the thriving theme park industry and the exciting employment opportunities available for UAE nationals. The team held a series of roadshows across the UAE, recruitment open days and attended number of high profile careers events.

Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, CEO of Dubai Parks and Resorts, said: “We are thrilled to welcome so many new colleagues to the Dubai Parks and Resorts family. Hiring 744 Emirati colleagues is a great achievement for us as we climb closer to our aim of hiring 1,000 UAE nationals. We are at the forefront of a dynamic, new industry in the region and we recognise the importance of building a generation of national talent to ensure its long term success.”

Dubai Parks and Resorts will feature motiongate Dubai – a movie based theme park showcasing some of Hollywood’s most beloved characters from DreamWorks Animation, Sony Pictures Studios and Lionsgate as well as the region’s first Legoland Park and a Legoland Water Park.

Committed to bringing together the best of the East and West, Dubai Parks and Resorts will also feature Bollywood Parks Dubai, the first theme park based on the sights and sounds of Bollywood.

The entire destination will be connected by Riverland Dubai – a retail, dining and entertainment walkway and guests can stay at the Lapita Hotel, a Polynesian-themed resort catering to families as part of the Autograph Collection of Marriott Hotels. –TradeArabia News Service
