The delegation's visit came as part of Tanmia's commitment towards employing National job seekers and enhancing their participation in socio-economic development in a bid to correct market imbalances created by over-reliance on expatriate workers.

Al Habtoor lauded Tanmia's Emiratisation efforts and expressed willingness to absorb any number of Nationals from Tanmia's database with marketing, public relations, maintenance, décor and hotel management competencies. He stated his staunch belief in the potential, professionalism and competence of young Nationals, and added that he wished to prove his viewpoint by hiring, training and retaining young Arabs in the full knowledge that their participation would yield economic benefits for his business concerns.
Lootah thanked Habtoor for lending support to Emiratisation by training and employing Nationals within his group of companies, thereby creating job opportunities for National job seekers in Tanmia's database.

"Tanmia is looking to foster economic growth by to resolving issues of disparity in labour market access and promoting National participation in the private sector. It is extremely heartening to see that we are garnering support from important private sector players in our case of workforce diversification and hiring a greater number of Nationals. We thank Mr. Al Habtoor for his support to train and hire young Nationals."


Tanmia is the National Human Resource Development & Employment Authority in the UAE, and was established in 1999 via a Presidential decree to increase National participation in the labour market.
