Etisalat, the leading telecom services provider in the UAE, will participate in an upcoming education and career fair in Ras Al Khaimah in a move to support UAE nationals interested in joining its workforce.

The Ras Al Khaimah Education, Training and Career Fair 2013 will be held under the patronage of Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah from March 5 to 7 at Ras Al Khaimah Exhibition Center.

Younis Abdul Aziz Al Nimr, chief human resources officer, Etisalat said: “Etisalat is always keen in supporting government initiatives across all emirates. Emirati talent needs encouragement and a platform to help them lead in an environment to become leaders of tomorrow.”

“Etisalat is distinguished among others in Emiratisation as we focus on all levels across the organization. We are constantly hiring high caliber talent and fresh graduates due to which Emiratis form 90 per cent of the senior management.

“This is also due to efforts put by Etisalat like specifically designed programs for Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) graduates which helped Etisalat increase percentage of Emirati technicians up to 34 per cent within the workforce,” he added.

Etisalat’s stand at the event will be equipped with computers connected to their network enabling applicants to submit resumes, a statement said.

This data will be added to Etisalat’s database of job applicants who are regularly contacted for available vacancies, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
