About 50 students and recent graduates took part in the
forum held a day before the Emiratisation Summit. In a live voting session, 30
per cent of participants said the opportunity for growth and promotion was the
most important factor when considering a job offer; 20 per cent said learning
new skills was the top factor; while 18 per cent said work environment and
culture was the main factor. Only 10 per cent said they would consider salary
first. A mere 2 per cent said working hours were the most important criterion.
Asked whether working for the private sector would throw up challenges, 81 per
cent said yes and 13 per cent said no. Responding to the same question about
the government, 40 per cent said yes and 31 per cent said no. According to
INJAZ UAE employers tell them they can't hire Emiratis because they can't give
them the salaries and working hours they demand.
Another survey was conducted in the capital as part of an
Emirati youth forum, and revealed that 30 per cent of the university students
and fresh graduates polled place utmost importance on growth and promotion
opportunities when selecting a job. Nearly 70 per cent of participants at the
forum said that getting a job is their most immediate priority after
graduation, over further education or entrepreneurship opportunities. When
choosing between public and private sector positions, the deciding factors for
Emirati youth tend to be growth and promotion opportunities, work environment
and skill development.
Tawdheef, the annual Recruitment Show. Which begins in the
capital on Tuesday, will see more than 2,500 job vacancies up for grabs. The
vacancies are available at more than a hundred public and private sector
organizations in a variety of industries, including finance, oil and gas,
media, and health.
