“Our participation provides us with new insights which will assist us in constantly updating our Emiratization programme, as we remain committed to supporting His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's vision of providing attractive opportunities for Emirati jobseekers,” he added. "A dedicated team from du’s National Recruitment & Development department will process the CVs and contact the candidates to brief them on the available opportunities."
 
The CVs will be assessed and channelled through two avenues at du: Direct recruitment for those that have the necessary qualification to fill vacancies available, and through 'Masar' the Training Programme and Development Plan  for fresh graduates.
