The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) Summer Training Programme 2016 has enabled Emirati students from numerous schools and universities in the UAE to learn about the capital markets through a series of presentations and workshops as well as hands-on training within DFM’s divisions and brokerage firms.
During the programme which ran from July 17 to August 11, with 6 hours of training per day, students learned about the functions and roles of DFM divisions and were assigned tasks under direct supervision from division heads. They also attended presentations about the market as well as specialized workshops including the “Promising Investor” workshop and the “Promising Technician” workshop.
The DFM has been organising these workshops since 2012 in order to provide trainees with the necessary knowledge required in the sector.
Additionally, trainees were briefed on the processes and procedures relating to DFM services including the issuance of Investor Numbers (NINs). Participants praised the quality of experiences and skills gained through the programme in general and its role in deepening their capital markets’ knowledge.
Jamal Al Khadhar, Executive Vice President, Head of Human Resources and Strategic Planning Division said: “The DFM organises the Summer Training Programme yearly as part of its commitment to social responsibility, developing and nurturing Emirati talents and preparing them as an invaluable addition to the job market in the future.
