Dubai: A committee for the Emiratisation of the postal sector is to be set up by Emirates Post.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Emirates National Development Programme (ENDP) and Emirates Post aimed at boosting Emiratisation of the mail sector was signed.
The new initiative is in response to the directives of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on creating new opportunities for Emirati youth in various fields, especially in the private sector.
Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister for Governmental Sector Development and Chairman of Emirates Post, said that the committee will be under the supervision of Emirates Post but will have members from the ENDP.
The MoU seeks to establish a framework for expanding cooperation between Emirates Post Holding Group and ENDP in providing training to Emirati youth in mail-related areas in order to boost Emiratisation.
Currently, 45 per cent of the Emirates Post's employees are UAE nationals, according to Al Mansouri.
Training
A postal diploma training programme, which is designed to increase UAE nationals' skills and professional capabilities for taking up positions in public and private sector companies engaged in mail activities, is also part of the MoU.
According to the MoU, the postal diploma programme will be for three months, at the end of which the candidate will receive a diploma endorsed by Emirates Post.
