ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company) is targeting talented and qualified UAE Nationals from Al Ain during the three-day Career Fair which is being held 3-5 May 2010 in the city under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Higher Education & Scientific Research.
“We are delighted to be a major participant and platinum sponsor of the ongoing Career Fair in Al Ain. This city has already provided ADNEC with a number of top-performing national employees and I am confident Al Ain will continue to be an important base for ADNEC talent in years to come,” said Humaid Al Dhaheri, ADNEC’s Director of Finance & Human Resources, drawing attention to the reputation of Al Ain as a centre for educational excellence.
Al Ain’s United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), established in 1976, was the country’s very first university. The city is also home to a number of other established colleges and universities.
The Al Ain Career Fair is taking place at the site where ADNEC has commenced construction of its AED 3.5 billion Al Ain Convention Centre district. When complete, this project will include a state-of-the-art convention centre, an expanded wedding hall, a cultural centre, hotels, a serviced apartment complex, and a cluster of residential and commercial low-rise buildings, providing both a boost to local employment and an uplift to the city’s emerging meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) sector.
“ADNEC’s ties to Al Ain run deep. With our participation at this fair and our emphasis on recruiting UAE national talent, ADNEC hopes to reiterate our commitment to this city. We would like Emirati staff to be at the forefront of the ADNEC growth story and participate in the very many exciting projects that ADNEC has been entrusted with by the Abu Dhabi leadership, including the Al Ain Convention Centre district,” added Al Dhaheri.
ADNEC is a strategic international venue development and management company whose venue portfolio includes one of the most modern exhibition centres in the world - the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, and the UK capital’s largest exhibition and conference venue, ExCeL London. The company currently employs many UAE Nationals in key positions and has implemented several unique initiatives aimed at maximising skills and leadership potential of its national employees including a unique secondment program held in cooperation with ExCeL London.
ADNEC’s participation at the Al Ain Career Fair follows a number of recent recruitment initiatives aimed at strengthening its workforce. Since February 2010, when the company staged the Tawdheef Recruitment Show at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, ADNEC has participated in a number of university recruitment events at Zayed University, Al Hosn University and Abu Dhabi Men’s College. The thrust of ADNEC’s recruitment efforts this year is on increasing the percentage of Emirati personnel within the company to 35 per cent by end-2010. The company has already achieved 32 percent nationalization among positions that are suitable for UAE nationals.
ADNEC’s 128sqm stand at the Al Ain Career Fair is designed to ensure job-seekers are provided a welcoming and convenient ambience to obtain information, apply for and explore career options within the company. Stand visitors will be received at a reception desk, guided through application formalities, and encouraged to submit their CV’s via the kiosks at the stand. The stand will also have facilities for onsite interviews and screening.
