Time management workshop

ABU DHABI — In line with its objective of contributing to the sustainable development of the UAE, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) held a Time Management Workshop for 15 Emirati secondary school students.

The students recently graduated from high school and are recipients of university scholarships.

The workshop took place over two days at MoF’s Abu Dhabi and Dubai offices. One of the main goals was to provide participants with the tools necessary to implement effective time management methods.

The attendees were privy to a presentation on popular theories and practices adopted in the global time management and how to deal with wasting time. A discussion was held on how to prioritise professional and private lives, and how to plan and achieve, long term goals.

“We consider time management as an important skill which helps us better organise our life, and which gives us the ability to better deal with the time pressures we may face at home or at work. The main goal of this workshop is to help enhance the performance of these young academics and of our staff,” explained Fatima Al Sawayh, Head of the Human Recourses Department at MoF.

In 2010, MoF provided university scholarships to 29 students from across the UAE. This initiative was launched in line with MoF’s commitment in contributing to the development of the nation’s youth.
