Group participates in 4th National Service Career Fair
Emirates Steel Arkan Group, the UAE’s largest listed steel and building materials company, is participating in the Fourth National Service Career Fair as part of its ongoing efforts to attract national service graduates to join the industrial sector.
Through its presence, the Group is seeking to open a direct channel of communication with the National and Reserve Authority graduates, support their future career plans, and secure opportunities for them in the industrial sector, which will contribute to the UAE’s economic diversification and sustainable development.
During the event, Emirates Steel Arkan Group will announce new job openings in specialisations including engineering, facilities and services, health, safety and environment, quality assurance, procurement, internal auditing, and legal affairs. In addition, a number of new training and scholarship programmes will be announced.
The Group will also highlight at the event its collaboration with prestigious educational institutions such as Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi University and Abu Dhabi Vocational Education and Training Institute. This is part of the Group’s current scholarship and R&D programmes, and its plans to increase Emiratisation and attract young Emirati graduates to the industrial sector.
Engineer Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group CEO of Arkan and CEO of Emirates Steel, said:
“We extend our deepest gratitude to the UAE’s leadership, whose directives brought this significant event to life. Emirates Steel Arkan Group is eager to attract national service graduates and young Emiratis to fill key engineering and technical roles. We intend to interact and engage with the graduates during the event as part of our strategy to promote Emiratisation in the industrial sector and support the objectives of the National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology. Currently, the Group’s Emiratisation rate is 20% and our desire to increase it stems from our belief that attracting Emirati graduates provides tremendous opportunities to take the country’s industrial base to a new level of growth and progress.”
Emirates Steel Arkan Group have launched several programmes that support and prepare Emirati graduates to fill technical jobs. This includes the Career Aspiration Programme, which attracts Emirati fresh graduates who have completed their high school, technical diplomas, or bachelor’s degree in various engineering or technical domains. It aims to develop their skills and capabilities and prepare them to join the UAE’s steel industry’s workforce.
The Group offers other path-defining programmes, such as Masar which prepares employees for supervisory positions, and ‘Future Leaders and Management Excellence,’ a programme designed to prepare managers for leadership roles. In addition, Emirates Steel has established a Youth Council to open a direct channel of communication between young Emiratis and the senior management.
The Fourth National Service Career Fair is being organised by the National Service and Reserve Authority. Emirates Steel Arkan Group will be at stand C-13.
