Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV) is the world’s only Free Zone area dedicated to Human Resource Management and learning excellence. Established in 2003 as part of TECOM Investments, Dubai Knowledge Village aims to develop the region’s talent pool and establish the UAE as a knowledge-based economy.
DKV is a unique hub that offers the best selection of Human Resource Management, Consultation, Training and Personal Development programmes on a picturesque 1 KM long campus in the heart of Dubai.
With over 450 business partners, DKV aims to establish itself as both a trusted business partner and a centre of excellence for professional development.
Increased focus on the criticality of the HR function within the Middle East is driving growth in the HR service providers segment, with recently surveyed companies stating that the top 4 challenges facing their company’s performance include Leadership Development and Pipeline, Creation of High Performance Culture, Talent Management and Talent Acquisition. This increased focus on HR is further demonstrated by recent data indicating that throughout the GCC, the highest pay raises in 2010 were attributed to the HR function.
Over the next ten years, this focus is expected to increase significantly as the region’s high numbers of youth enter the workforce while aggressive nationalization targets, strong GDP growth and the existing gap between academic programs and practical skill sets continue. Such trends have been identified by key international players across the HR services spectrum including recruiters, training companies, testing facilities and HR consultancies who have already established a strong presence in the region such as Mercer, Aon/Hewitt and Prometric.
DKV is a member of TECOM Investments Education Cluster, located in Dubai Technology & Media Free Zone. Below are some of the benefits of having your business operations within Dubai Knowledge Village.
