Abu Dhabi, UAE: 21 October 2024 – The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) is pleased to announce the third edition of the Industrialists Career Exhibition, aimed at creating and matching job opportunities in the industrial and advanced technology sectors.
Scheduled to take place from 28-30 October at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center, this edition builds on the successes of the previous two, which facilitated over 1,400 specialized jobs for Emirati talent, including 150 positions for people of determination. The two special events held in Ras Al Khaimah provided more than 200 jobs, bringing the total to over 1,600 jobs within a year of the exhibition’s launch in October.
The third edition will offer over 900 new job opportunities, with more than 100 positions specifically allocated for people of determination, across 93 private companies in nine key sectors: food and beverages, oil field services and energy, engineering and construction, manufacturing, consulting and auditing, logistics and trade, project management, technology and engineering services, and contracting and infrastructure.
For the first time, the exhibition will also feature job and training opportunities for female national service recruits from the “Hama” program, which was launched by the Government Development and Future Office in partnership with the National Service and Reserve Authority (NSRA). This initiative aims to build specialized professional skills in five vital sectors, including industry and advanced technology.
Integrated Efforts
The Industrialists Career Exhibition is a collaborative national initiative involving MoIAT, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (Nafis), and ADNOC Group, under the National In-Country Value (ICV) Program, part of the UAE’s Projects of the 50.
Backed by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, this initiative emphasizes the importance of developing and investing in national talent to advance the industrial economy. His Highness has recently underscored the need to integrate highly qualified Emirati talent into the industrial sector to enhance its role in the national economy.
The exhibition aims to unite government entities, private sector companies, training institutions, and job seekers, providing job and training opportunities aligned with factory needs and job seekers’ skills, thereby facilitating quick employment for Emirati talent.
This edition will offer various job opportunities, including on-site, office, and hybrid roles. For the first time, an instant matching system through a dedicated app will align job seekers’ qualifications with available vacancies using cutting-edge technology.
Training Programs
In addition to the jobs secured at previous exhibitions, the ministry, in collaboration with partners, has launched specialized training programs in vital sectors such as oil and gas. Thousands of young Emiratis have visited the exhibitions to explore these opportunities.
To raise awareness, MoIAT has organized workshops for manufacturers and job seekers, running from August 15 to September 15 and from September 15 to October 15, respectively.
