A new community outreach programme, involving a series of roadshows at universities and colleges, aims to profile the benefits of future aims of Dubai's eGovernment project. "Today's students will be the leaders of tomorrow, therefore it is imperative that we involve them in the various aspects of e-government," said Mahmood Al Bastaki, acting director, e-services, Dubai eGovernment. "It is extremely important to win the support of the student community by introducing them to the benefits of e-services and familiarising them with our basket of user-friendly e-services."
As well as providing the opportunity to learn more about Dubai eGovernment's key services, the roadshows are focusing on three key e-government initiatives:
- eLearn, an online training portal
- eLibrary, a project to bring library resources online
- eJob, a centralised recruitment system for those seeking jobs in the public sector
