Part-time work regulation launched across Dubai’s Creative Clusters

  DUBAI - A new regulation has been launched that will enable more than 4,500 business to offer part-time employment to 26,000 university students in Dubai's nine free zone creative clusters. The pioneering regulation was announced on Wednesday (October 19) by the Dubai Creative Clusters Authority (DCCA), a government regulatory body mandated to foster the economic development of Dubai's creative clusters and related knowledge industries. DCCA is the region’s first government free zone regulator to enable businesses under its jurisdiction to access a valuable pool of student talent. The Student Part-time Work Regulation will enable the next generation of creative talent to gain critical industry experience to complement their fields of study and increase their employment prospects post-graduation. “The Student Part-time Work Regulation will anchor the nation’s ranking and align seamlessly with the Dubai Plan 2021, making it easier for organisations in the creative clusters to attract and retain talent,” said Ahmed Bin Byat, Director General of DCCA. The regulation will enable businesses licensed by DCCA to access a valuable new stream of talent and will, ultimately, ensure a well-rounded, educated and skilled workforce. The ‘Earn while you Learn’ campaign will allow students enrolled in universities licensed by DCCA, primarily located within Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Knowledge Park, to work across a diverse range of industries including ICT, media, entertainment, human capital development, education, life sciences, energy, environment, fashion, design and outsourcing. “Through opening up opportunities that allow students to gain real-world industry experience, the Student Part-time Work Regulation will bridge the knowledge-skills gap,” added Bin Byat.
