Main Features happening at Tawdheef 2022

In line with the UAE's Vision 2021, Tawdheef is committed to supporting the career development of Emiratis and boosting their numbers in the workforce. We encourage private companies in the UAE to take advantage of the resources available at Tawdheef to further develop their Emiratisation plans.

Empowerment Stage

Looking to fulfill the potential of the next generation of Emirati leaders? Take part in Tawdheef's Empowerment Stage! From inspiring keynote speakers to exciting interactive performances, this one-of-a-kind platform is for UAE Nationals wanting to take their career to the next level.

Pioneer

With a focus on ingenuity and opportunity, Pioneer is the perfect venue for young Emiratis to make a name for themselves in the UAE business landscape. It is a unique initiative to connect businesses that have challenges, or projects that need solutions through young Emiratis with entrepreneurial mindsets. Hosted in a competition format, the winning ideas will be recognized in the Tawdheef Award Ceremony

Career Preparedness Workshops

Led by industry thought-leaders, our workshops aim to provide the Emirati youth with the necessary skills and knowledge that they need to succeed in today's ever-changing economy. Covering topics such as CV writing, interviewing, and networking, these sessions offer an insightful look into the future of work and how Emiratis can stay ahead of the curve.

ADNOC

ADNOC participated at Tawdheef 2020 in order to source and hire Emirati talents for our 2030 smart development strategy and we have three different hiring objectives: the first one is the admission of high school graduates to ADNOC Technical Academy in order to train them for future technical jobs, the second one is for all Emirati students to apply and the third one is for Top high school and university graduates. The number of Emiratis who applied at our stand is very promising and we are looking forward to being here during Tawdheef 2021.
