The Dubai Parks and Resorts will open doors to Emiratis across the country in its first 'UAE national open day' this week. It will conduct a series of roadshows across the UAE as it looks to empower and grow a new generation of talent for the theme park industry.
The open days, the first of which will take place on November 28 at the Emirates Towers Godolphin Ballroom in Dubai, are designed to identify Emirati candidates for the exciting Forsati programme.
Forsati, launched in September 2015, is part of the Dubai Parks and Resorts' extensive Emiratisation programme. Through the programme, the entity aims to hire more than 1,000 Emiratis in the next 12 months to compliment the Dubai Plan 2021 and the 7-Year National Agenda to promote Emiratisation and empower national talent.
Forsati, which means 'my opportunity' in Arabic, will comprise a development programme for UAE nationals of high school education or below and provide a total of six months training to over 800 Emiratis.
The open day on November 28 is one of several, which will take place till February 2016 across the UAE as Dubai Parks and Resorts looks to grow its workforce.

Our innovative Forsati programme is designed to provide intensive and practical training to high school graduates and below.
