Dubai: The last date for the submission of applications for the Dubai Human Development Award (DHDA) will be November 16, 2008, the Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai announced.
The DHDA is open to Dubai-based establishments that invest in national human resources and facilitate their growth and development within the organisation.
As part of an initiative that seeks to maximise private sector participation in national human resource development, DED recently organised an introductory workshop in Deira on the Dubai Human Development Award (DHDA) 2008 for applicants.
The workshop facilitated the application process by helping companies prepare their submissions.
Criteria
Dr Kanak Madrecha, senior manager of the Quality and Business Excellence Centre at Dubai World, who led the workshop, presented an overview of criteria for evaluation, the application process and other aspects pertaining to the award.
More than 20 representatives from major private sector companies participated in the workshop.
"The DHDA assumes great significance in view of the growing number of young UAE nationals joining the workforce and increasing challenges to Emiratisation," said Khalid Al Qasim, deputy director-general for Planning and Development at DED and DHDA coordinator-general.
The award covers eight economic sectors: trading, construction, professional, services, tourism, finance, manufacturing and semi-government.
