Dubai, UAE, 6
August 2019: Dubai Real Estate Institute (DREI) at
Dubai Land Department (DLD) announced the graduation of 22 students enrolled in
the ‘My Real Estate Idea’ programme that was specifically targeted talented
students from various ages and nationalities. In addition, DREI also organised
an awareness-raising session for educators in cooperation with the Hamdan bin
Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for Distinguished Academic Performance (Hamdan
Foundation).
HE Sulaiman Al
Ansari, CEO of Hadman Foundation, commented: “We are pleased to partner with
DREI and work in collaboration to improve the capabilities of our educational
cadres and students. This cooperation is a result of our belief in the positive
impact that educators leave on students, their ability to focus, and their aspirations
on disciplines that serve the labour market, abreast of national goals that
align with the vision of our wise leadership. We hope to continuously cooperate
with DLD for the benefit of both parties, especially following the success that
was achieved by the programme.”
Held 21 July – 1
August, the programme focused on talented and academically accomplished students
between the ages of 12 and 18, specifically middle and high school students, to
help create training opportunities for them and provide them with real estate
knowledge as well as city building and design. Thanks to this programme,
students were introduced to concepts that covered constructing properties,
towers, and houses, in addition to DLD’s role in Dubai’s real estate sector.
Hend Al Marri,
CEO of DREI, said: “The programme helped us achieve an important goal: to prepare
a real estate generation that contributes to building the future of the UAE and
designing cities, especially as the programme contributed to raising the level
of creativity and innovation across all real estate fields among enrolled
students as well as exploring their abilities during their participation in
brainstorming with others.”
Al Marri added:
“Through these programmes, we seek to motivate students to learn and research
as well as prepare an effective generation capable of assuming responsibilities
towards its homeland by developing their mental skills in addition to their
thinking and innovation abilities, and involve them in building their city to
serve the needs of future generations within smart and advanced cities.”
The programme
included two main phases, the training phase and the innovation phase, each of
which comprising a full week, 5 hours a day. The training phase included
lectures with specialised real estate workshops presented by an
industry-specialised trainer at DREI, while the innovation phase was a competition
to measure students' mental abilities in this sector. Through it, the students
were able to unleash and expand their mental abilities by offering and
developing an idea, project, or design in an innovative manner that incorporated
what was done during the training phase.
Based on its
training approach, in line with the aspirations of the UAE and the wise leadership
and as part of its commitment to support innovation and smart transformation, DREI
also organised a training course for teachers that aimed to train and educate
them in real estate through providing an integrated introductory course that
includes real estate knowledge, its fundamentals, and the most important relevant
laws.
The two-day
course held, 28 – 29 July, contributed to raising the level of awareness and
education of the real estate sector and the importance of real estate
investment, increasing knowledge, raising real estate competencies in society
and individuals as well as the awareness of the community of the real estate market
and its transparency among educators.
