Initiative to promote entrepreneurship among the future generation
Dubai Customs, represented by the ‘Tadal for Job Happiness’ team, recently organized a small customs trader event with the participation of 40 children of different age groups, as part of its keenness to instill the concepts of entrepreneurship and promote economic awareness among the younger generations, and support meaningful community work.
The event aimed to give children the opportunity to gain practical experience that simulates real-life commercial activities by presenting their products to Dubai Customs employees in an interactive educational environment that combines learning and practical application, contributing to the development of their commercial skills.
Transforming ideas
This initiative is in line with Dubai Customs’ approach to supporting the development of a conscious generation capable of transforming ideas into realistic and sustainable projects, thereby contributing to the national economy and instilling a culture of innovation and productivity in students from an early age by enhancing their entrepreneurial thinking, financial management, marketing, and customer service skills.
In this context, Rashed Obaid AlSharid, Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Dubai Customs, emphasized that this initiative is part of the department’s commitment to investing in people from an early age, noting that enabling children to gain practical experience in a real-world environment contributes to building confident personalities and reinforces their understanding of work, innovation, and responsibility.
“Investing in children’s awareness and skills is an investment in Dubai’s future, instilling confidence that they are partners in shaping a city where nothing is impossible,” he concluded.
