The Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department Organises Remote Training Courses for Its Employees

The Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department has held a series of technical training courses for its employees with the aim of preparing highly qualified and skilled human capital. These courses, which amounted to 153 training hours, involved all career levels at the Department.
