The HR team in Mashreq cooperated also with the management of HCT and Zayed University to make sure the students are guided to the Mashreq ‘Open Day’.
The open day seeks to attract as many nationals looking for distinguished job opportunities. They will be received by experienced staff from human resources and various Mashreq departments who will guide them into the best banking department that will lead them to success.
Commenting on the job nationalization drive, Emiratization Manager Shatha Al Meamari said: “This is the second Mashreq Open Day for Emiratezation in less than two months. We have gained experience and exposure from the first one we did on the 12 of September and we expect more UAE national to visit us in the World Trade Center today’
The open day is expected to attract more than 500 job applications from candidates holding diplomas and degrees, from high school to university and from various specializations. All these applications will be screened by experts, who will take into account that Mashreq will provide successful candidates with intensive training courses, as well as a healthy work environment complete with all incentives that will help them move on with their career and take their skills and intellectual talents to new heights.
“Since the launch of the UAE-wide Emiratization campaign, Mashreq has not spared any effort in support of the job nationalization process. In order to implement this policy it was necessary to dedicate all efforts and be steadfast towards achieving this goal, which we continue to seek through the implementation of several programs we introduced within the framework of supporting the nationalization project” concluded Shatha.
