Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a volunteering platform in support of Expo 2020 Dubai. Over two days, RTA hosted the Expo 2020 Volunteers team, which held several events and workshops at RTA’s Head Office.
HE Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA attended the event. Attendees also included Najeeb Mohammed Al-Ali, Executive Director, Dubai Expo 2020 Bureau as well as CEOs, Directors and Managers of RTA. The event is part of RTA’s efforts to encourage employees to make an effective contribution to this exceptional national event.
Najeeb Mohammed Al-Ali said: “The RTA is one of the strongest supporters of Expo 2020 Dubai and is putting in place the infrastructure that will transport thousands of people to and from the site every day. We are thrilled with the enthusiasm of RTA’s employees in being part of this national event and registering for the Expo 2020 Volunteers programme.”
“The workshops are aimed at nurturing the Emirati culture, and its customs and traditions, to enable volunteers to showcase the UAE to millions of visitors from around the world. Volunteers are the faces of Expo 2020, and by extension, the UAE, and will help demonstrate the UAE’s ability to host and deliver successful world-class events,” he added.
Launching a platform for employees interested in registering as volunteers for the Expo 2020 Volunteers Programme reflects RTA’s commitment to supporting UAE’s efforts to ensure the successful hosting of this global event; which is held for the first time in the MEASA region. The event is expected to attract 25 million visitors, with about 70% of visitors expected to come from outside the UAE. The RTA encourages employees to be part of the success story of this international showcase, and further enhance the image of the UAE.
Volunteering for national events is a part of RTA’s organizational culture. It offers the employees exposure to diverse expertise, enabling them to harness their abilities in support of all events. Through the workshop, the Expo 2020 Volunteers team has provided a wealth of knowledge & expertise to RTA’s employees, especially in regards to how to communicate with visitors and exhibitors.
