“The impressive results we have seen so far in 2023 have been largely down to the vital role played by our partners, and we would like to applaud their efforts in helping make Dawamee a success,” said Jamal Al Khater, manager of the programme.
As a free digital platform, Dawamee is targeted at Emiratis who are 18 years and above. Priority is given to groups facing employment challenges, such as people of determination, low-income individuals, and those living in remote locations across the country.
The portal provides cost-effective solutions for companies and corporations across a wide spectrum of sectors by offering them access to flexible employees with the right skills and knowledge.
“This programme is so important for raising awareness about flexible employment, whether part-time or remote job opportunities – especially for UAE nationals who may have felt their options were limited – we are delighted to see the progress thus far,” Al Khater added.
