The need and desire for training GCC nationals rightly remains high on the agendas of GCC government organisations and private sector companies based in the gulf. However, with turnover of staff still high in many sectors, are the basic measures in place addressing the issue?
Hotcourses Middle East, a private Dubai based education & training company, believes entry level programs are failing government objectives, employers and individuals. Steven Vanson, Director of Hotcourses Middle East, explains; 'There are many organisations in the region providing entry level training for native GCC candidates and the UAE is a good example with its Emiratisation programs. However, the program specifications, delivery method and quality varies from one training program to another. This being the case, are the candidates being given the best possible advice, training and start to their careers?'
Hotcourses Middle East have therefore launched and started to deliver its 'Employment Skills Training', part of its Working Business Series. The program is a dynamic, motivational program which can be tailored to company, industry or government requirements. Furthermore, candidates receive internationally recognised certification after successful completion of what the company believes takes National Training to a new level.
Of the most recent training, Mr Vanson stated 'We are delighted with the feedback received from the employer, which is one of the largest in the UAE. They are using our program as a refresher for current employees who may not be as motivated as the company wishes and those new employees who have just started to work following their induction programs. The course provides an excellent foundation for professional development. We really want to be at the forefront of local workforce development.'
