ADU CAREERS FAIR 2009 TO BE HELD ON THE 9TH AND 10TH OF NOVEMBER
H.E. Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the United Arab Emirates, open the ADU Careers Fair 2009 today the 9th of November which will be held on ADU’s Khalifa City campus.
The ADU Careers Fair 2009 includes 45 of the region’s top organizations. ADU’s Careers Fair organizers earlier announced that they are proud to welcome First Gulf Bank as the event’s Platinum Sponsor this year. In addition, ADNEC, Etihad Airways and ADWEA were Gold Sponsors of the event, while Mubadala were the event’s Silver Sponsor. The careers fair is designed to provide ADU students and graduates with an opportunity to meet face to face with top level employers from the UAE in order to find out about exciting careers paths and opportunities that exist. The Careers Fair included employer talks along with career advice from our strategic partner SUMMIT who will provide students with CV and interviewing skills required to be successful in today’s competitive jobs market.
H.E. Ali Bin Harmal Al Dhaheri, ADU Chairman of the Executive Board, underlined the importance of this fair, in that it illustrates the close collaboration between the university and the different forces in the employment sector in Abu Dhabi in particular and in the UAE in general. It further demonstrates the care and commitment of ADU to its graduates and students by extending its mandate beyond the classroom, assisting ADU students with the search for suitable job opportunities that will match their qualifications and which in turn will facilitate Abu Dhabi’s and the UAE’s future development and growth.
Bin Harmal praised the support received from the Fair’s sponsor companies and organizations, pointing out the important role that this kind of collaboration with the different institutions and industries in the UAE play in the achievement of the university’s goals and strategies within the foreseeable future.
Dr. Nabil Ibrahim, the ADU Chancellor, seconded Bin Harmal’s appreciation of the sponsor companies’ participation, adding that he is looking forward to a very successful Careers Fair that will benefit all involved.
