The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to this effect was signed by Ricahrd Firth the Director of the Institute for Vocational Development – one of the core Institute members of ADUKG, and Feddah Loota, the Director General of Tanmia, on the sidelines of Tawdheef exhibition. Tawdheef is one of the leading recruitment, Emiratisation and related training events in Abu Dhabi, and the three-day programme began at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre (ADNEC) on Tuesday. Several officials from ADUKG and Tanmia were present during the signing of the MoU.

The partnership between ADUKG and Tanmia aims to provide a framework within which the parties will seek to develop a long term collaborative relationship in the fields of national human resources development, job training programs, organizing training and development conferences, and holding workshops to further the objectives of Tanmia and support its role of serving UAE society.

The MoU sets out areas of collaboration such as the development of joint marketing and PR campaigns to highlight the added value of employing Emiratis as well as the benefits and corporate social responsibility of assisting the Emirates in the development of its national human capital.

Speaking on the occasion Ricahrd Firth pointed out that Tanmia was playing a vital role in preparing job seekers and equipping them with the necessary skills to enter the job market.
