TECOM Investments, a member of Dubai Holding, last week officially launched its first purpose-built staff training centre at the Dubai Knowledge Village in Dubai. The centre demonstrates TECOM Investments’ commitment to the professional development of its staff, as well as the employees of its entities.

The fully equipped multi-purpose training hall is equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual systems, internet connection and in-built cameras to take

photographs while training is in progress.

The facility will be managed by the Learning and Development division, a

component of the Human Capital department at TECOM Investments. It will offer young recruits a six-month training programme that focuses on professional development through a mixture of off-the-job training, induction courses and communication skills training.

In addition, it will offer

programmes in association with prominent international institutions such as the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), Europe’s largest professional body.

The TECOM Investments’ training facility is designed to enhance the delivery of its top tier services by helping

business leaders cope with dynamic change and

challenges and by providing Master’s scholarships to promising TECOM Investments’ employees. It will also assist in the

recruitment and training of graduate UAE nationals.

So far this year, TECOM Investments has organised 153 separate training

courses, 97 run by external training providers and 56 by TECOM Investments’ in-house trainers.
