Abu Dhabi University (ADU) has announced the opening of the ‘Career Fair 2010’ on 2nd November at its campus located in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi, under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
Over 30 governmental and private institutions are expected to participate in the exhibition, representing a wide range of sectors in the UAE, including the economic, finance, tourism, and oil & gas sectors, as well as other vital sectors of the country. Main sponsors for the event are Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, Etihad Airways, Kanoo Group, and First Gulf Bank.
Chairman of Abu Dhabi University, Ali Bin Harmal Al Dhaheri, explained that the Fair is especially relevant to the students of ADU as it is designed to give them the necessary support to find a job and to achieve their future ambitions. Career search workshops are regularly conducted at the University to polish students psychologically and practically for the exhibition, which serves as an initial interview for students with prospective employers.
Al Dhaheri added that, “ADU considers the Career Fair as an opportunity for both the students and participating organisations to communicate directly, and to give the students a chance to explore all the options available to them in the market, first hand. It is also to help them identify what needs to be done to become more suited to meet the employers’ needs and to match their personality with the right job description, and in order to secure an internship at any of these companies.”
He also added: “Specialists at the university inform students about how they can benefit from the Career Fair, especially in terms of communicating effectively with the employer, the different styles of writing a CV and other technical details, which will help them nail a suitable job.”
The two-day Career Fair held on 2nd and 3rd November 2010, will open to the public at 11 am on the first day and 10 am on the second day, closing at 6 pm. Day two will be open to only female students of ADU, to allow them a comfortable environment in pursuing their job search.
According to statistics provided by Summit, graduates from the Abu Dhabi University enjoy a high rate of employability, where around 91% of graduates have secured steady employment.
