The first phase of the programme had the students, both male and female, from the UAE and Argentina attending an intensive training involving field trips in Argentina, which examined the culture and global business environment after the participants were divided into five groups and asked to develop an action plan for their own projects.
Held in Dubai, the second phase includes training students in the area of preparing business strategies for setting up a company. These projects will be judged by a selection committee that will decide on the best plan and present a cash prize accordingly. The ceremony will be held on October 22 at the American University in Dubai.
While welcoming the students, Azzah Al Sharhan, Executive Director of Human Resources, Dubai Chamber, said:
"In line with HH Sheikh Mohammed's vision of creating new UAE global entrepreneurs capable of withstanding the challenges of the globalized world and open market, we at Dubai Chamber strive to work for youth development projects thus our association with this Global Business Opportunity Initiative."
Al Sharhan took this opportunity to thank Al Ahli Group and Junior Achievement Argentina for their CSR role in the initiative, "We extend our deepest appreciation for Al Ahli Group and Junior Achievement Argentina for their role in this initiative which shows their commitment towards Corporate Social Responsibility which is an integral part of every successful business. This initiative of educating, training and equipping young UAE nationals not only helps them acquire leadership qualities but also prepares them to work in different work environments in line with the Dubai Chamber mission of representing, supporting and protecting the interests of the business community and its objectives of creating a stimulating environment for business growth and the promotion of Dubai as a global trading hub," she said.
Added Al Sharhan, "Throughout the past four decades, Dubai Chamber proved to be fully committed to the economic welfare of Dubai, playing a crucial and pioneering role in facilitating and supporting businesses and highlighting the investment environment in the emirate. Our mission will definitely inspire the students to chart out a rewarding career for themselves in the corporate world."
Leena Hourani, CSR manager at Al Ahli Group said this second and final phase of the programme is dedicated to the Group's CSR activity which shows the importance of partnership between the private companies and educational institutions.
