Dubai Financial Market kicks off summer training programme

18 students representing several schools and universities are taking part in the annual programme for 7 weeks ending August 13th 2009. The students will be trained for 6 hours per day from 8 AM to 2 PM.

Taybah Abdul Mannan, Assistant Vice President - Head of human capital department, DFM, said:

"The summer training programme is just another initiative that demonstrates DFM's support to the new generations. DFM has been organizing the programme since 2004. Undoubtedly, the great success of the programme in achieving its objectives played a major role in the continuation and development of this programme, which reflects DFM's role in training the UAE nationals."

"The training programme consists of a series of workshops, designed to develop student's capabilities and guide them to address the requirements of the labour market. The students will gain a vast amount of experience through interaction with experts and professionals in financial markets. This interaction will give students the chance to develop their educational knowledge with practice. This year we have added an orientation week to educate students about DFM, its objectives and mission and further enhance their knowledge of the UAE financial markets and the listed public joint stock companies," she added.

DFM has placed the trainees to its different departments, along with some brokerage firms. Every trainee will be entitled to a money prize of Dhs2500-3000 per month in addition to certificates.
