DUBAI — Integrascreen has signed a contract with Emirates Post to be their exclusive partner in the UAE degree verification programme. This project will be carried out on behalf of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.

We believe by screening out those persons with fraudulent documentation we will increase the quality of the workforce in the UAE and will enable employers to have the confidence of knowing that they are hiring the genuine article.”
