- A logistics sector training track, created to prepare citizens for roles in logistics service companies through collaboration with the Dubai Logistics Academy.
Mohammed Al Ghaffari, Executive Director, Human Resources Division at Dubai Customs, said:
“Our involvement in the National Service Career Fair reinforces our dedication to supporting the country’s Emiratization goals by delivering world-class training programs. Masar 33 equips participants with essential customs and logistics knowledge and real-world experience, helping them enter the workforce and contribute meaningfully to the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.”
Khamis Al Muhairi, Acting Director of the Human Resources Department, highlighted the strong interest shown by young Emiratis in Dubai Customs’ training offerings. He emphasized that this enthusiasm reflects the success of the department’s strategy in attracting and nurturing national talent.
