Dubai College of tourism hosts career fair

The Dubai College of Tourism (DCT), a part of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), hosted a career fair for all of its students to enable them to choose from a range of career choices to chart a successful future.

Industry leaders from across the tourism ecosystem were invited to attend and present their respective organisations to students at the purpose-built college facility located in One Central in the dynamic Dubai World Trade Centre area. This was followed by conducting interviews pertaining to part-time opportunities, internships, management trainee programmes and full time positions. The fair was held to aid the students to gain confidence and strengthen their networking skills, in order to secure internships which is a mandatory part of their programme at DCT.

DCT courses provide a hands-on approach that is unrivalled within the industry and active collaborative initiatives with industry partners form a cornerstone of the programmes as these are designed to provide students with a transformational educational experience that is tailored to meet the needs of future employers.
