How We Work with Corporates

We help corporates future-proof their business through expert talent and resources at The University of Manchester – Dubai.

It's all about talent

Talent may be defined as the ability and capability to do something well while implying potential future performance. Talent management puts in place the processes to attract, identify, develop, engage, retain, and deploy individuals who are valuable to an organisation.

It includes all the ways that an organisation brings employees on board, keeps them happy and productive, and helps them continue to develop. The development of talent entails the organisational process of positioning employees for career advancement in a way that aligns with the company’s mission.

Whichever way you look at it and however you define it, talented people are at the core of a successful organisation. So, it is unsurprising that so many organisations – from governments to public and private sector companies and the not-for-profit sector spend so much time looking at ways to develop their people.

The University of Manchester - Dubai has been working actively with a wide range of organisations both in the private and public/government sector in the region or many years.
