ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company) will participate in the day-long Zayed University career fair tomorrow (April 12), as part of a series of university roadshows aimed at advancing the company’s Emiratization programme for 2010.

At tomorrow’s event, ADNEC, whose employee rolls already comprise several Zayed University alumni, will highlight the growth of Abu Dhabi’s thriving meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) sector, and the career opportunities available at ADNEC.

“We are delighted to not only participate but also be the Gold Sponsor at the ZU career fair. ADNEC has recently renewed our focus on tapping fresh graduates from the UAE’s educational institutions and Zayed University has always been a wonderful source of employee talent for us. We look forward to welcoming graduates with the dynamism and determination to drive one of the region’s fastest-growing growth sectors, to join the ADNEC team,” said Humaid Al Dhaheri, ADNEC’s Director of Finance & Human Resources.

“While ADNEC is focussed on UAE talent, the fact that we have 27 different nationalities, with varied sector-expertise in the company, also provides a multi-cultural learning environment,” he added.

Since ADNEC’s participation at February’s Tawdheef Recruitment Fair at which the company shortlisted 100 UAE National candidates, ADNEC has participated in other career-oriented events at Abu Dhabi Men’s College, Abu Dhabi University and Al Hosn University.

Commenting on the positive results of ADNEC’s university engagement, Al Dhaheri, said: “Since we started our university visits we have received a lot of inquiries from students who are impressed by the growing social and economic impact of the events industry. UAE Nationals in particular are genuinely interested in building careers in this (events) business and advancing the contributions of this sector to local and national development plans”

ADNEC will also announce the winners of its ‘ADNEC Through Your Eyes’ amateur photography contest during the Zayed University career fair. Launched exclusively for students and alumni of Zayed University, the competition will recognise the most creative photographs of the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. The overall winner will enjoy a complimentary stay at the ADNEC-owned Aloft Abu Dhabi which is interconnected with the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.

Following the ZU career fair, ADNEC will participate in the Al Ain career fair on 3 May 2010.
