Over the years Careers UAE has evolved into a key forum where all parties concerned with recruitment, training and education can meet and interact more frequently and effectively than ever before.
"HSBC's aim is to market itself to UAE nationals as a 'preferred employer'amongst the Banking & Finance Industry through its participation in Careers UAE. In 2005, HSBC achieved 40% Emiratisation of its total workforce in the UAE. Our objective is to recruit quality UAE nationals who have the necessary skills, calibre and a 'can-do' attitude. We are proud to be a Gold Sponsor for Careers UAE 2006 and look forward to yet another successful year,' said HSBC Graduate Recruitment Manager Juhaina Al Fardan.
The exhibition provides a favourable atmosphere for educational and training institutions and employers to discuss ways and means of matching up education and training outcomes to the actual needs of the labour market.
