The 2024 edition of Tawdheef x Zaheb, the UAE’s renowned Emiratisation event, will be held at ADNEC Centre, Abu Dhabi, from November 19-21.
Activities include career counselling services, mock interview sessions, and a guided tour of the exhibition floor. Participants can also visit the professional headshot booth and challenging careers-based contests where they can win exciting prizes even as they gain new insights.
The event features a series of exclusive skill-building workshops where visitors can gain practical knowledge on everything from resume writing to negotiation skills; motivational speaker sessions, where sector-wide industry leaders share valuable insights and personal success trajectories, offering actionable advice on everything from career growth to achieving work-life balance; and keynote circle, a series of discussions on important regulatory and policy matters related to the future of education and employment in the UAE.
This year, the organisers have set up a specially designed Speedy Knowledge Hub, expected to be a crowd favourite. This venue will feature 20-minute educational sessions where the focus is on rapidly upgrading participants’ skills for navigating the competitive job market. Attendees will get certified in a range of career enhancement skills, including standout CVs and cover letters, leveraging AI tools, trending job search techniques, mastering interviews, understanding recruiter preferences, and networking on social media.
With the number of participating companies, organisations, and job opportunities available increasing each year, Tawdheef x Zaheb continues to grow in both scale and prestige. The 2024 edition of the event has received notable support from the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, underscoring its role as a strategic partner for the UAE government’s ambitious Emiratisation programme.
Sessions featuring practical skill development and advice from industry insiders on finding the right career and suitable employers have always been the primary appeal of Tawdheef x Zaheb, especially when it comes to younger visitors. This year will be no different on this count, with a number of exciting guided sessions on various topics, such as Resume Mastery, where freshers and experienced visitors alike are trained in crafting resumes that make for a compelling professional narrative.
In addition to these sessions, Tawdheef x Zaheb will also feature a host of insightful panel discussions and talks on relevant topics. One of the sessions will discuss Emiratisation efforts, where participants will explore the strategies and challenges in the nationalisation of employment and review the progress made so far, with the purpose of outlining the future workforce in the UAE. Another session will cover education excellence, where attendees will learn about the latest trends and data in education and skill development specifically for Emiratis, and how these can accelerate the UAE government’s visionary Emiratisation initiative.
