A new drive has been launched to increase the number of UAE nationals in the hospitality and tourism sector. Medyaf, an industry nationalisation initiative at Dubai College of Tourism (DCT), part of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, has launched the ‘Explore the Tourism Industry in Dubai’ initiative, DCT announced Friday.
The initiative, according to a press release, is designed to empower Emirati talent seeking to join the tourism workforce with the fundamental knowledge and skills through an immersive programme of interactive workshops, field trips, vocational experiences, and hands-on training.
Medyaf was established in 2016 to help attract, train, and encourage UAE citizens to take up tourist-facing roles across the tourism ecosystem.
As part of the initiative, two workshops were hosted by Medyaf last month; the first was conducted in Al Seef Heritage Hotel and attended by 10 participants, whilst the second was held in Hilton Dubai Jumeirah, and welcomed 11 participants.
Both workshops contained theoretical and practical activities in an engaging, interactive environment, and provided participants the opportunity to learn about hotel operations, hospitality, and fundamentals of culinary arts, along with hands-on training.
