Best on the Job Training Structure

Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism

Training can be managed, monitored and regulated easily compared to the On-The-Job element, which generally is less structured and/or focused. But, an organisation managed to capture the essence of OJT and made a habit out of it. The Award for the Best on the Job Training Structure was won by The Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism.

This organisation aims to position itself as a global “employer of choice” — especially in the creative and cultural sector. It consistently encourages its team members to embrace a culture of lifelong learning to empower their career growth and to support the Department’s strategic objectives, which is to support its wide and ever-expanding portfolio of museums, heritage sites, festivals, events, and other related creative tourism activities.

The Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism has embarked on a journey to ensure this culture is embedded across the organisation and focuses on sustainability for this initiative.

They are to be applauded for this singular focus on this oft missed aspect of people development initiatives.
