Hospitality sector to play key role in Emiratisation

DUBAI / WAM

As the UAE’s hospitality industry continues its rapid growth, it presents highly promising career opportunities for skilled professionals, especially Emirati youth.
Hotels are increasingly looking out for local talent across operational and functional areas as part of their commitment to Emiratisation.
At the Najah higher education fair in Abu Dhabi, Emirati job-seekers were seen showing a keen interest in hospitality-related careers, especially at the stand of the Emirates Academy of HospitalityManagement (EAHM), an integral part of Jumeirah Group and one of the Top 10 hospitality management schools in the world.
Dr Scott Richardson, Executive Dean of EAHM, said, “While it is a well-known fact that the hospitality industry is the world’s second biggest employer, it is all the more relevant here in the UAE, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi witnessing impressive growth in hotel rooms, especially ahead of upcoming mega events such as Expo 2020.”
