As part of the first phase of the Ta’aheel Project to rehabilitate prison inmates, IT training will be imparted to personnel of the Dubai Police, who in turn will pass on the acquired skills to the inmates. Salem Al Shair, eServices Director, Dubai eGovernment, said, “The technology training program is a reflection of the eGovernment’s commitment to break down the digital divide and ensure that the benefits of technology reach as wide a section of the population as possible.”
