One of the UAE Vision 2021 Initiative aims is to become a
knowledge-based economy pioneered by UAE nationals. Steps taken by
the government to encourage Emiratis in the private sector are
designed to further this aim. But what steps should be taken by the
private sector employers themselves?
UAE Government Initiatives
As we reported earlier this year (see here), the Ministry of
Human Resources and Emiratisation (MHRE) introduced a new programme
at the end of 2016, called Tawteen, with the aim of promoting
Emiratisation in the private sector. The programme includes the
following initiatives:
- Tawteen Gate, which is aimed at
attracting talent.This is a recruitment portal for Emirati job
seekers.Depending upon the size of the workforce and sector in
which a company operates, businesses falling under the jurisdiction
of the MHRE are being selected to advertise their new positions via
the Tawteen Gate.
