Miral’s subsidiary, Farah Experiences, held at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the second open day of its Ambassador Program, a training program focused on encouraging Emirati talent to grow in the travel and tourism sector.
The open day welcomed 550 Emirati candidates seeking to join the Ambassador Program to gain knowledge and experience in this high growth industry, and build the required skills that reinforce the hospitality culture and principals of the UAE.
In line with Miral’s goal to add 1,000 jobs by 2018, the program is expected to recruit 200 Emiratis over a 12 month period, 50 of which have been already recruited in the first open day of the program hosted last year.
“We are very excited to see the commitment, dedication and eagerness of candidates to learn and develop their skills throughout the Ambassador Program. The passion we have witnessed among the participants is a true testament of the hospitality ethics embedded in our nation,†said Mariam AlMusharrekh, Associate Director of Human
Resources at Miral.
