The participation was part of Dubai Maritime City’s ongoing program to actively support various initiatives that contribute to the UAE’s economic development.
‘Dubai Maritime City is highly committed to contribute to the overall development of the UAE’s human capital. A major factor of the country’s progress is its ability to develop a large pool of talented, innovative and productive professional workforce. We recognise the academic community’s major influence in this process, and we are pleased to extend support to the various activities initiated by educational institutions such as HCT’s Recruitment Fair,’
said Ali Al-Daboos, COO, Dubai Maritime City.
The Recruitment Fair was part of the final assessment in Human Resource Development among HCT’s eBusiness Management students.

‘Societal welfare is of utmost priority to us and we have implemented programs that enhance our contribution to the society in various ways. Aside from supporting human resource development, we also have a strict policy within Dubai Maritime City that requires all developers to secure green building certification for all their projects. These initiatives are part of our aim to be a role model in promoting the benefits of CSR and helping achieve sustainable development at all fronts,’ said Al-Daboos.
