Dubai-UAE: 13 April, 2008 - Sama Dubai, the international real estate investment and development arm of Dubai Holding, today announced it will highlight its spectrum of career and training opportunities for UAE nationals at the 8th annual Careers UAE Exhibition, to be held from 15-17 April at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).

Participating for the second consecutive year in the country's premier recruitment, training and education exhibition, Sama Dubai will provide detailed insights into the human resource development initiatives of each of its large scale projects.

Sama Dubai has recently witnessed a huge spike in its demand for competent professionals following the escalating dimensions of its ventures and its rapidly expanding global footprint.  

Farhan Faraidooni, Executive Chairman, Sama Dubai said: "For Sama Dubai, the participation in Careers UAE 2008 reflects our increasing need for qualified UAE national talent as well as our tremendous corporate growth. The diverse nature of our projects in various parts of the world calls for indigenous talent, and we are confident our participation at the region's largest job fair will give us an opportunity to recruit skilled and trained UAE nationals."

As part of its concerted effort to invest UAE nationals with industry specific skills, Sama Dubai has introduced 'Developing the Developer' programme, offering opportunities to acquire a real estate diploma from the Dubai Real Estate Institute within a time frame of six months to two years. In addition, each participant is also accorded a mentor from Sama Dubai offering personal guidance in their relative field of expertise.

Sama Dubai will be featured as part of the Dubai Holding umbrella at Zabeel Hall, Stand number Z-F5. Representatives from Sama Dubai will be on hand to counsel the UAE nationals and advise them on their respective career paths. Inviting resumes, the officials will also conduct walk-in assessments at the venue.

A unique platform, Careers UAE 2008 acts as an ideal platform for talented UAE nationals, with varying qualifications, to take the first step towards their future career and tap into additional job-specific education and training opportunities for enhancing their skills.
