Dubai Municipality launches ‘Future Talents' programme to train 200 students in future skills
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Dubai Municipality has launched the latest edition of its summer training initiative, the 'Future Talents' programme, aimed at equipping 200 students with essential skills for the future labour market. The programme targets students from universities, colleges, and high schools (Grades 11 and 12), offering practical training across a variety of administrative, technical, and field disciplines. The initiative reflects Dubai Municipality's commitment to empowering young Emirati talent by providing experiential learning opportunities aligned with the Municipality's areas of specialisation. It also supports the broader objective of preparing a future-ready generation capable of contributing to national development. Abdulla Khalfan, Acting Director of the Human Resources Department at Dubai Municipality, said: 'Future Talents is one of the key programmes implemented by Dubai Municipality to attract and develop promising national talent. It enables students to enhance their academic knowledge with practical experience, helping them gain the skills and insights required to navigate the evolving labour market and seize future opportunities.' He added: 'The training agenda is designed to mirror students' academic fields, combining theoretical learning with real-world application. This approach provides students with a clearer understanding of their chosen disciplines while offering a first-hand view of institutional operations and professional responsibilities.' The four-week programme runs eight hours per day and places students across various Dubai Municipality departments based on their academic specialisation. The experience is structured to foster a comprehensive understanding of institutional work culture while sharpening core competencies such as communication, teamwork, and punctuality. In addition to building technical knowledge, the programme helps students develop personal and professional networks to support their career progression. Last year, Dubai Municipality trained 60 university and college students across 16 departments through the 'Future Talents' summer programme. In 2025, the initiative has been expanded to include high school participants for the first time.

XTEP Ignites Global Night Running Frenzy: Over 1,000 Runners Chase Summer PBs in "Acceleration" Night-Training Footwear
Xiamen, China, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning June 10, over 1,000 runners across China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Norway, and France laced up for Xtep's global night running series. This surge in evening activity underscores a key summer training reality: intense heat makes night running essential for effective high-intensity intervals and endurance work. Directly addressing this core need, Xtep debuted its 'Acceleration' colorway collection—footwear engineered specifically for the demands of summer night training. On night runs, runners wearing the 360X 2.0 'Acceleration' edition represent more than just visual impact—it reflects a mindset. 'Acceleration' isn't just speed; it's a commitment to forward momentum in life. This drive requires resilient support: Research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows 40-50% of recreational runners sustain injuries—primarily in feet and lower limbs—where effective cushioning is proven to mitigate impact forces. Addressing this critical need, the 360X 2.0 features a premium midsole foam synergized with a streamlined carbon plate, dispersing impact energy to reduce joint stress and injury risk while maintaining responsive speed. Through this science-backed design, XTEP footwear empowers athletes to safely pursue PBs after work—transforming biomechanical insights into enduring running joy. The brand's 'Make it Different' philosophy thrives here—championing breakthroughs where protective engineering meets human potential. The dynamic 'Acceleration' colorway extends beyond the 360X 2.0, also revitalizing Xtep's core performance models for specific running goals, including: Designed for elite racing, the 160X series has propelled 95 athletes worldwide to secure 451 marathon victories. Complementing the race-day dominator, the 260X is built for professional-level training, helping runners break through plateaus and sustain long-term progress. These performance-driven models became the engine of our global XRC night run series, powering over 1,000 runners as they illuminated cityscapes worldwide, their strides tracing landmarks from Malaysia to Vietnam, Norway, and beyond. From daily runs to race-day goals, Xtep's performance ecosystem delivers tiered solutions for every runner. The 'Acceleration' ethos embodies the relentless pursuit of progress—now amplified through the global Xtep Running Club (XRC). We invite runners worldwide to join XRC: unlock exclusive access to dynamic pop-up runs in iconic cities, where community and cutting-edge gear converge.
