MCN Academy's UAE Nationals training program commences

The program was successfully launched in partnership with the University of Wollongong Dubai, Dubai Waterfront - a Nakheel company - and Emirates Nationals Development Programme.

Thirteen UAE Nationals have commenced the program in the Abu Dhabi and Dubai offices of MCN. Nationals gain hands-on work experience while acquiring specialized work-related skills and networking within the advertising industry. All new recruits start the Program as Trainee Managers with a handsome remuneration package and a permanent work contract after successfully completing the ten month tenure of the Program.

Aisha Mohamed Al Mawed, one of the Program Trainees, said that the Program meets her expectations and also said, "The Program is very encouraging and helpful for starting my career in Graphic Design."

Fellow Trainee Manager, Haleema Jaber, who is working in the Strategic Brand Planning Unit said, "I'm enjoying the program and feel excited every day I reach my desk and review what my plans are. The aspect that I like most is the way my mentor guides me. It's a very important division and I learn new things every day. It's a good opportunity."

Ricarda Ruecker, Regional Managing Director at Fortune Promoseven, who spearheads the program for the group, said, "We received an overwhelming response from applicants and are impressed by the quality and eagerness of the participants. The Trainee Managers who were selected to commence the program are proving themselves to be very competent, enthusiastic and motivated individuals."
