The course, Certified Chief Innovation Officer (CCINO), which was organized as part of 2nd Dubai Customs Week (22nd-28th January) under the theme “We sustain security, together we grow”, comes within Dubai Customs’ efforts to develop its staff’s skills and encourage them for more innovation at work.

 

Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director of Dubai Customs inaugurated the training course at Zabeel Park.

 

“Dubai Customs adopts innovation as a daily practice and a fixed strategy, and we educate our employees of how to approach innovation and bring out of the box ideas to the table. One way of doing this is to hold workshops and training courses like this one.
