The recruitment fair, which will run till tomorrow (February 5) at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, is a platform that provides an opportunity for companies in the UAE to engage with local job seekers at all levels.

We are keen to meet ambitious Emiratis who want to be a part of an organisation where they can make a real difference and we aim to give them a better understanding of how we recruit for available positions.

Etisalat’s local recruitment strategy is modelled on a pyramid structure whereby UAE nationals are recruited in every department, thus providing local talent to all sectors of the industry.

The operator has also committed to the Abshar initiative, which aims to boost the number of Emiratis entering the workforce.

On the technical side, Etisalat has created programmes for university and Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) graduates, which have helped Etisalat increase its number of Emirati technicians by 35 per cent, representing a total of 900 employees.

In line with its Emiratisation objectives, the company has set a target to increase the percentage of its UAE National workforce to 45 per cent by 2015. - TradeArabia News Service
