Mini report
Jobs
Emirati Youth Forum in January 2013 is in exhibition that
attempted in Abu Dhabi to do a survey about UAE youth and jobs to collect
information. In a live voting session, 30 per cent of participants said
opportunity for growth is an important factor when considering a job offer; 20
per cent said learning new skills was the top factor; while 18 per cent said
work environment and culture; only 10 per cent said they will consider the
salary first. A mere 2 per cent said working hours. Voting results also showed
that students believe that working in the privet sector will present more
demand than working for government. Managers
think that Emirati youth only consider salary and working hours, but a survey
showed nearly 70 per cent of respondents consider factors other than salary and
benefits to be more important when considering a job. The survey, which was conducted in the
capital as part of an Emirati youth forum, revealed that 30 per cent of the
university students and fresh graduates polled place most importance on growth
and promotion opportunities when selecting a job. Among the jobs on offer at
the event were 1,000 positions from oilfield companies, positions at the
Standard Chartered Bank, positions at oilfield services firm Petrofac, and 15
jobs at Oasis Hospital in Al Ain.
