Commenting on this event, Dr. Ankit said:

"We have always believed that building strong ties with well established institutions such as the Dubai Roads and Transportation Authority is part of the University's mission. Such ties have allowed us to open doors - to our students for training, to our graduates for careers, and to our faculty members for offering their expertise and serving society."

Mr. Al Madani said, "The Dubai Roads and Transportation Authority has since its inception recruited a number of AUST alumni who have worked actively and contributed effectively to our success. This has assured us that we have made the right choice in recruiting Ajman University IT graduates. I hope that this agreement strengthen the bonds between our two institutions."

Dr. Abou Naaj said that the College of IT will continue to communicate with companies and corporations to guarantee training and career opportunities for AUST students and graduates. The College will also liaise with the business community regarding the development of new majors and specializations.
