UAE's First-Ever Green Jobs Fair at World Future Energy Summit 2013
Supported by Masdar, Mubadala, PwC & Reed, Fair Jointly Hosted by Masdar Institute to Offer Career Advancement OpportunitiesAbu Dhabi-UAE: 05 January, 2012 - Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, an independent, research-driven, graduate-level university focused on advanced energy and sustainable technologies, today announced that the first-ever Green Jobs Fair in the UAE will be held during the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) 2013.
Organized in collaboration with Reed Exhibitions, the inaugural Green Jobs Fair at WFES 2013 is dedicated exclusively to the renewable and sustainable energy sector, and will offer job seekers an opportunity to connect with potential employers at WFES 2013.
The forthcoming World Future Energy Summit (WFES) and the inaugural International Water Summit (IWS) will be part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2013. The events will take place from January 15-17, 2013 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has huge untapped potential for renewable energy, and with the UAE and other Gulf nations expected to invest heavily in this sector, the scope for job opportunities is high.
Dr Fred Moavenzadeh, the President of Masdar Institute, said: "Supported by the UAE leadership, we have consistently contributed to knowledge and human capital development in the clean energy and advanced technology sectors. By partnering with our stakeholders to organize the Green Job Fair at WFES 2013, we aim to facilitate job placements for talented youth with the right skill sets. We hope the inaugural job fair will prove mutually beneficial to companies and emerging professionals in the green energy sector."
Frederic Theux, President of Reed Exhibitions, said: "One of the world's largest gatherings in the renewable energy sector, the WFES 2013 is a unique networking opportunity for potential employers and employees. The green job fair will be an online-and-show-floor feature at WFES 2013, providing industry-related career advice, creating job connections, generating awareness for local training institutions, and connecting companies with talented individuals."
New to the WFES program, this career fair is a pilot initiative jointly sponsored by Mubadala, Masdar, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and HR Source Consultancy. HR Source Consultancy will schedule interviews between potential candidates and exhibiting partners, match qualified candidates with companies, and run seminars across diverse themes including CV advice, what to expect from the current renewable energy job market and market perspectives.
