Dubai, UAE; April 9, 2017
Ducab, a leading manufacturer of high quality electrical cables in the Middle East owned equally by Abu Dhabi’s Senaat and by Investment Corporation Dubai (ICD), has today announced its participation at Careers UAE 2017 which will be held at the Dubai World Trade Center from the 9th to the 11th of April. Riding on the success of the company’s Emiratisation strategy which has resulted in UAE Nationals making up 70% of the senior management, Ducab will conduct on the spot interviews and offer exciting career opportunities to suitable candidates at Careers UAE 2017.
In line with the Dubai 2021 Plan and the seven-year National Agenda, Ducab aims to support the growth and long term sustainability of UAE’s industrial sector by investing in young emerging local talent. The company will engage with Emirati talent at the event to further the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to promote and empower UAE nationals in all economic sectors.
Khaled Nasser Lootah, Board Member and Chairman of Emiratization Committee at Ducab said: “The bold vision set forth by our leadership to diversify our economy puts the spotlight on the non-oil sectors like industry and manufacturing. Building a skilled workforce through the nurturing of local talent plays a key role in ensuring the growth of these sectors. Ducab is committed to contribute significantly to this vision by providing comprehensive training and development opportunities and continually innovating to create an appealing and dynamic work environment.”
At its booth at the event, which is located in Hall 6, Ducab aims to highlight the unique career opportunities and programs offered by the company. Visitors will also have a chance to learn more about the inspiring work environment the company provides to its employees as well as more details of its scholarship programs, and graduate training programs for engineers and non-engineers.
"We are delighted to be a part of this year's edition of UAE Careers, a key platform to meet and communicate with UAE national talent and youth," said Mona Mohamed Fekri, General Manager, Human Resources at Ducab. “As a wholly owned UAE company, our people strategy has a strong focus on Emiratisation which has proven to be successful with Emiratis making up majority of senior management at Ducab. We continually strive to provide inspiring career opportunities for UAE youth to join us in the development and growth of the country's industrial sector, one of the most dynamic sectors in the world.”
Ducab is committed to its joint initiatives with several leading universities and educational institutions in the region and continues to strengthening these partnerships through the recruitment of students from different disciplines. The company also hosts regular visits and open day activities throughout the year for students.
Yousuf Al Shamali, a graduate of the Ducab Training Program who currently works for the company, said: "The training program at Ducab helped me develop my career through practical and hands on experiences. I look forward to achieving more and growing at a professional and personal level in order to contribute further to the success of the Ducab family."
Sara Al Dashti, a graduate of Ducab's internship program, who began her career with the company, said: "My participation in the practical training program at Ducab has contributed tremendously to the development of my skills, my knowledge of the processes involved and the practical application of my academic studies. With these experiences, I feel more confident at the beginning of my career and I have this learning experience to thank for that."
Ducab has successfully incorporated 26 different nationalities within the company's workforce, providing for a diverse cultural environment.
