Abu Dhabi-UAE: The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) has announced the third edition of the Industrialists Career Exhibition, focused on creating and matching jobs in the industrial and advanced technology sectors.

Taking place from 28-30 October at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center, this edition builds on the successes of the first two, which facilitated more than 1,400 specialized jobs for Emirati talent, including 150 positions for people of determination. The past two special events in Ras Al Khaimah provided more than 200 jobs, bringing the total of over 1,600 jobs within a year of the exhibition’s launch last October, significantly boosting Emirati employment in the private sector.

The third edition will offer more than 900 new jobs, including over 100 positions specifically for people of determination, across 93 private companies in nine key sectors: food and beverages, oil field services and energy, engineering and construction, manufacturing, consulting and auditing, logistics and trade, project management, technology and engineering services, and contracting and infrastructure.

For the first time, the exhibition will also provide job and training opportunities for female national service recruits from the “Hama” program, launched by the Government Development and the Future Office in partnership with the National Service and Reserve Authority (NSRA). This new initiative aims to build specialized professional skills in five vital sectors, including industry and advanced technology.
