AAU Students Spend a ‘Day in the Future’
- Posted on:Dec 11, 2011
As part of the 40th National Day celebrations, AAU students visited the Abu Dhabi Ports Company and were introduced to the company’s new initiative, ‘A Day in the Future.’
The main aim of this initiative was to allow students from an array of academic disciplines to be exposed to the various work opportunities that the company can offer. This allowed National students to gain a valuable insight into the many exciting career opportunities that currently exist within ADPC that will allow them to serve their community and contribute to the country’s future economic development and diversification.
ADPC is committed to Emiratization as it firmly believes that this country’s citizens will be essential in maintaining the progress that the UAE has witnessed so far.
The massive scale of projects such as Khalifa Port and Khalifa Industrial Zone (Kizad) offers students jobs across various sectors such as engineering, finance, computer and operations management of marine and land. In addition, students were informed that such projects are long term and will continue for decades to contribute to the sustainability of the country, with a prime example being Mina Zayed which is currently 39 years old and truly symbolizes the Union.
Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Zuhrieh Shanaa, the Deputy Dean of Student Affairs said, “AAU cooperates with government entities all the time to stay informed of ongoing projects so as to introduce students to varied job opportunities as they arise.”
