Etisalat today announced that it will participate at Al Ain Career Fair which is taking place between 3rd and 5th May 2010. Etisalat aims to promote the job opportunities it provides to UAE nationals who aspire to join the company and its subsidiaries.
Etisalat’s participation at the event reaffirms the company’s commitment to emiratisation. Etisalat has always played an important role in preparing and developing specialized national talent to hold leading positions in the telecommunication sector in the UAE and the region today.
Abdul Aziz Al Sawaleh, Chief Human Resources Officer at Etisalat, said: “Our participation at Al Ain Career Fair is different from our earlier participations. This time it comes after launching our 2010 initiative aimed at increasing the number of UAE nationals within the work force. The company has already started the implementation of this initiative and in the coming period we will begin training candidates to prepare them to fill the vacancies within Etisalat and its subsidiaries.”
As one of the largest national companies, Etisalat provides UAE nationals with special opportunities, facilities and training. Etisalat trains and recruits a large number of UAE nationals every year and today, more than 3500 Etisalat employees are from the UAE – which is 35% of the total Etisalat staff count.
