Over 40 Emirati women graduates attended a training programme designed by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA).
The initiative offered a 'career path plan' to support the success and empowerment of female Emirati professionals within the tourism industry. The promotion of equality through community initiatives and advocacy was also a focus area of the programme.
The training of the first batch of candidates was held from July 7 to 11 and the second batch is scheduled from October 13 to 17.
The training was announced earlier in conjunction with Nama Women Advancement Establishment during the Women Economic Empowerment Global Summit (WEEGS) 2017 which was held in Sharjah.
Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, chairman of the SCTDA, said: "We consider investment in the empowerment of women and girls as one of the priorities that has the potential to accelerate sustainable development.
The programme is set to have a wider impact and social reach to resonate with the UN-Women Women's Empowerment Principles. - sandhya@khaleejtimes.com
