Tanmia partners with Azadea Group to boost UAE nationals' employment within retail sectors

The top 25 candidates were chosen from a pool of 200 UAE nationals for various job opportunities during the program, which was held during Azadea's 'Open Day' activity at the Al Tuwar Public Library in Dubai.

The successful candidates will undergo a Work Program developed in collaboration with the National Institute for Vocational Education in preparation for their new positions.

"Tanmia is committed to encouraging and supporting UAE nationals in taking a more proactive role in our country's development. Through this joint project with Azadea and the National Institute for Vocational Education, and other similar initiatives, we are pleased to gather momentum towards our goal of realising the full potential of the country's human capital," said Feddah Lootah, Acting General Manager, Tanmia's Dubai Office.

The selected candidates were introduced to Azadea's operations and educated on the nature of possible positions to be filled. They then underwent a screening process that included an extensive interview session. The successful applicants will have an excellent opportunity to forge careers in Azadea's various business interests.

"Azadea hopes to find highly motivated nationals who are willing to uphold our commitment to excellence. We will strive to discover individuals who will not only meet our requirements but who will also show an earnest interest in helping the company become a major contributor to the UAE's economic growth," said Latifa Al Suwaidi, Emiratisation Specialist., Azadea Group Holding.

We are committed to support such initiatives by providing a comprehensive and high-quality Work Program that will equip the candidates with the skills required by their new jobs."
