In its efforts towards offering career opportunities for UAE nationals, du, the integrated telecom operator in the UAE, today announced the third consecutive year of participation and sponsorship of Abu Dhabi Career Fair 2009 (Tawdheef). The event is scheduled to be held between 3-5 February 2009 at Abu Dhabi Exhibition Centre.

Fahad Al Hassawi, Executive Vice President Human Resources, du, commented: “Offering attractive career options to talented UAE nationals is clearly a mandate for us. This year we plan to recruit over 100 UAE fresh graduates through MASAR programme to take our Emiratisation level beyond 20 percent. Our participation in the Abu Dhabi Career Fair (Tawdheef) is a key element to achieve this objective. We expect to receive a good response at the event.”

A specialised team at du will review all applications and update the applicants with possible internship and employment opportunities within the company after the event.

Since its launch, du has always participated in all special activities that aim to achieve the Emiratization strategy of the country by taking part in all Career Fairs across the UAE. This is in addition to open employment days such as the Masar program that are held regularly to openly communicate with high school and college graduates and update them on available employment opportunities. All this has contributed to the Emiratization progress at du.
