"With Emiratisation being the prime focus of the economy, Careers UAE 2008 will continue to provide guidance to every talented UAE national aspiring to shape a career. The job fair will also provide critical support to professionals seeking to better their prospects and reach their next career goalpost."


Careers UAE 2008 will allow young UAE national graduates to gauge employment trends through direct interactions with CEOs and HR managers from the most dynamic companies in varied industry sectors.

In coordination with the Mohammed bin Rashid Establishment for Young Business Leaders, Careers UAE 2008 will host, for the first time, the Young Entrepreneurs Competition. A three-day programme, the initiative will see students from various academic institutions competing to market their products in an intensely challenging environment.

The UAE youth will also receive exposure to a number of specialised training programmes on career advancement techniques. In addition, a series of workshops that are held on the sidelines of the job fair will spotlight employment, recruitment and human resource development issues. Led by professional training managers, the workshops have no fee attached to them and have proved highly popular features at the previous editions of Careers UAE.
