The Emirates College for Advanced Education (ECAE) and The New England Center for Children—Abu Dhabi (NECC-AD) signed an appendix of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that will see NECC-AD students enrolled in a training program at ECAE library during this month. These students will have the job title ‘Library Assistants’ and their duties will include distributing books and stationaries, computer data entry, re-shelving books and magazines, and identifying missing material. These students will work 2 hours per week.
The signing ceremony in Abu Dhabi was attended by Professor Robert Milne, Vice Chancellor of ECAE and Dr. Daniel Gould, Executive Director of NECC-AD. Other executives from NECC-AD and ECAE faculty and administrative staff were present during the ceremony.
The signing of this appendix of MoU reflects ECAE’s continuous desire to build fruitful and sustainable partnerships and it is in line with ECAE goal of providing community support. ECAE encourages all efforts to develop the abilities of individuals with autism to participate in various community activities through designing and implementing programs and initiatives to achieve this goal. Such endeavors will enhance the skills that these individuals with autism acquired in their rehabilitation and intervention centers through the provision of hands on trainings.
