Dubai Parks and Resorts, set to end up being the Middle East's largest integrated theme park destination on its opening in October in 2016, has announced that it has appointed 744 Emirati staff members since the launch of its ambitious Emiratisation program which intends to work with 1,000 UAE nationals. This statement follows a highly successful three-day attendance at Careers UAE 2016, where 147 extraordinary Emirati candidates accepted offers of employment

Dubai Parks and Resorts set out an enthusiastic Emiratisation strategy in 2014 to hire 1,000 Emiratis. The company's comprehensive Emiratisation programme makes up three efforts - Forsati, Sahim, and Helmi-- to provide Emiratis of all career levels, from new graduates to future leaders, a motivating variety of job opportunities.

Dubai Parks and Resorts' recruitment group has been hard at work raising the profile of the thriving theme park market and the amazing employment possibility available for UAE nationals. The group held a series of roadshows across the UAE, recruitment open days and went to variety of high profile careers events.

At the recently concluded Careers UAE, the Dubai Parks and Resorts' recruitment team carried out over 600 very first and second round interviews in their look for intense Emirati skill. Interest was high from UAE nationals, with over 2,000 Emirati job-seekers visiting the Dubai Parks and Resorts stand for more information about the amazing career chances offered. Outstanding prospects that successfully passed the interview procedure were offered employment contracts on the spot. 10 'Helmi' finishes that have just recently returned from studying Theme Park Management in Florida, attended Careers UAE to share their favorable experiences of working for Dubai Parks and Resorts with potential prospects.

Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, Dubai Parks and Resorts' Chief Executive Officer said: "We are thrilled to welcome a lot of new colleagues to the Dubai Parks and Resorts family. Hiring 744 Emirati coworkers is a great achievement for us as we climb up closer to our goal of employing 1,000 UAE nationals. We are at the leading edge of a vibrant, new industry in the region and we identify the value of building a generation of national skill to ensure its long term success. We are proud to support the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to support and empower Emirati skillsets."

Dubai Parks and Resorts will include motiongate Dubai-- a film based amusement park showcasing some of Hollywood's many cherished characters from DreamWorks Animation, Sony Pictures Studios and Lionsgate as well as the region's first LEGOLAND Park and a LEGOLAND Water Park. Committed to bringing together the best of the East and West, Dubai Parks and Resorts will also feature Bollywood Parks Dubai, the first theme park based upon the sights and sounds of Bollywood. The whole location will be connected by Riverland Dubai-- a retail, dining and entertainment pathway and visitors can stay at the Lapita Hotel, a Polynesian-themed resort dealing with families as part of the Autograph Collection of Marriott Hotels
