Dubai Customs’ HR Department concluded its “Your Children Are Our Children” Initiative in its fourth edition. The initiative aimed at evaluating students’ potential and providing them with academic and career counselling based on their skills, qualifications and desires.
The initiative saw a very positive turnout from the employees’ children. A total of 28 students were assessed, with a level of satisfaction that reached 95%.
Abdul Azziz Al Bloushi, Head of Organizational Development Section in Dubai Customs said the students’ participation was very important to them as it helped them learn more about what they are they good at and what career to pursue in the future.
“We are happy to help students make decisions that will impact the rest of their lives” he added.
On her part, Lana Al Aisawi, Assessment Specialist, HR Department said: “Integrating career and academic advising was an important consideration for us when we organized this initiative. We aim to guide students to choose their future subjects of study based on what they like and are good at. The subject choices that they make for their last two years of school can have a significant impact on the course options available to them at university”.
