Dubai Investments reinforces support to Emiratisation drive through participation in Careers UAE 2012

Dubai Investments (DI), the largest investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, is marking its participation at Careers UAE 2012, a recruitment, education and training event for UAE nationals, to reaffirm its commitment to Emiratisation.

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the 12^th edition of Careers UAE that began today will run until 7 March at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event aims to bring together leading employers and skilled Emirati job seekers.

Khalid Kalban, Managing Director and CEO, Dubai Investments, said: “Dubai Investments has always been a staunch supporter of the UAE Government's Emiratisation drive. Events such as Careers UAE hold an even greater significance in the current economic climate, when the global downturn has dramatically slowed down the pace of recruitment. The event provides a platform for employers and job-seekers to meet and interact and eventually identify a good career fit. Such initiatives drive the engagement of UAE nationals in contributing to the national economy and reinvigorating the local job market.”

Dubai Investments regards young UAE nationals as key contributors to the progress of the country. As part of this conviction, it hosts various programmes and initiatives such as the Tamaiz Awards to support their development and integrate a larger number of UAE nationals into its workforce.
