Together, these organisations offered more than 150 job opportunities across diverse sectors, including government services, finance, energy, emerging technologies, and more.
The initiative reflects Mawaheb’s ongoing commitment to empowering Emirati talent and facilitating access to employment opportunities across Abu Dhabi’s regions. By connecting jobseekers directly with employers, the open day contributes to creating a dynamic, inclusive, and efficient labour market, while supporting balanced economic development in Al Dhafra.
His Excellency Nasser Mohammed Al Mansouri, the Undersecretary of the Ruler’s Representative Court in Al Dhafra Region said: “The open day in Al Dhafra reflects the leadership’s vision to empower national talent and enable their active participation in Abu Dhabi’s ongoing development journey. This initiative highlights the importance of collaboration between government entities and private sector partners to create meaningful opportunities that support balanced, inclusive growth across the emirate and allow Al Dhafra’s citizens to build promising careers in their homeland.”
His Excellency Ibrahim Nassir, Undersecretary of the Department of Government Enablement – Abu Dhabi, said: “This Open Day in Al Dhafra reflects our continued efforts to extend career opportunities to all regions of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It embodies our leadership’s vision to ensure that our national talent is empowered to contribute to the emirate’s growth. Through Mawaheb Talent Hub, we are creating direct pathways between jobseekers and employers, supporting UAE nationals in building meaningful careers and driving sustainable economic development within their local communities.”
Mawaheb emphasised that such open days play a vital role in enabling national talent by fostering direct engagement between employers and jobseekers, accelerating the hiring process, and supporting candidates through professional development and smart job-matching tools as well as personal interviews.
As a key initiative under the Department of Government Enablement, Mawaheb Talent Hub continues to play its role as a key enabler of national talent in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, building on the success of previous initiatives and programmes aimed at providing job opportunities for Emiratis in Abu Dhabi Emirate. This step reflects the great attention given to the people of Al Dhafra, and the commitment to empowering national talent in all Abu Dhabi regions. These efforts aim to enhance their readiness for both current and future labour market needs, in line with the leadership’s vision of placing citizens at the heart of development and as the foundation of sustainability.
