The industrial conglomerate is at Tawdheef to fill positions with qualified Emirati candidates within its group of diversified companies. The three-day show at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre ended Feb. 2.

"Identifying and developing UAE talent is very important for GHC and its subsidiary organizations," said Suhail Al Ameri, CEO of GHC, which among its holdings include several major industrial organizations such as Ducab, Emirates Steel, Arkan, Agthia and the National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC).

"One of the key objectives of our organization is to ensure jobs and careers for UAE Nationals and we provide the tools, training, development, career planning and mentoring to make sure these objectives are realized. Tawdheef sets the ideal stage for us to attract the right local talent under one roof and fill the current vacancies that we have in our group of companies."

Presented by Abu Dhabi Tawteen Council and supported by the Emirates National Development Program, Tawdheef is the foremost recruitment event that supports Emiratization. Only companies with immediately available positions for UAE nationals take part.

These include platinum sponsors the UAE Presidential Guard, Abu Dhabi Police, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank and National Bank of Abu Dhabi, gold sponsors Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, ADNOC and Etisalat, and silver sponsors Etihad Airways, the Telecoms Regulations Authority (TRA) Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), and Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company (ADNIC). Abu Dhabi Airports Company is the registration sponsor.

Now in its sixth edition, Tawdheef is partnered with the three-day Emiratization Summit — the only event to address the Emiratization HR lifecycle, focusing on the three core dimensions of UAE National talent management: Recruitment, retention, and professional development.
