Tanmia signs MoU with Fujairah HR department to boost employment of nationals in Fujairah

The MoU was signed between Feddah Lootah, Acting General Manager, Tanmia and H.E. Mohammed Al Zuwdi, Director General, Fujairah Human Resources Department, on the sidelines of the Directive Exhibition for University Studies that is being held at the Fujairah Expo Center till March 5, 2008.

Tanmia's Center for Career Guidance and Planning (CCGP), which is taking part in the exhibition, is offering academic and career advice to the participating baccalaureate students to enable them to make the right decision with regard to the choice of academic course they should consider, in line with the demands of the modern day labour market.

Commenting on the MoU, Feddah Lootah said, "The signing of this MoU is significant especially since Tanmia is focused on providing employment opportunities to Nationals across the country.

We will make the best use of our resources to facilitate training of Nationals in Fujairah and make them well-prepared for successfully handling the requirements of today's dynamic job market."

As per the terms of the MoU, a joint executive committee will be formed comprising representatives from both sides. The committee will be responsible for coordinating activities in areas of mutual interest, and will develop an action plan to implement activities agreed in the MoU, within the prescribed timeframe.

Tanmia will provide the Fujairah Human Resources Department, access to its database of National jobseekers to enable them to choose suitable candidates and provide training and employment opportunities.

Tanmia will also provide assistance by making available the research and findings of its Labour Market Information System (LMIS), which will offer valuable information with regard to requirements and trends in the UAE labour market.

The two parties will also work together to conduct special training programs aimed specifically at preparing UAE Nationals to handle challenges at the work place.

Tanmia will also cooperate with Fujairah Human Resources Department to coordinate with organisations from the private and public sectors to conduct seminars and field visits that will provide jobseekers a better understanding of the job market.

Commenting on CCGP's participation in the Directive Exhibition for University Studies, Saif Ibrahim Al Noaimi, Director of CCGP, said, "Providing the right academic and career guidance to students who are at a crucial juncture of their lives is extremely vital. This exhibition is an excellent opportunity for CCGP and Tanmia to interact closely with the UAE National students who are looking for valuable guidance that will help them make the right decision with regard to their education and career path."

"Moreover, it is important that students participating in the event are provided an overview of the job market in the UAE, especially highlighting the challenges, opportunities and requirements, and this is where Tanmia's participation in such events becomes all the more significant," he concluded.
