UAE: Fake Emiratisation, penalties tackled in ministry's 2 new guidebooks

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) is stepping up on its awareness drive on Emiratisation and the Nafis programme which is aimed at supporting Emirati professionals in the private sector.

MoHRE recently launched two guidebooks that are accessible on the Ministry's website and Nafis electronic platform.

“We are keen to raise awareness and knowledge on the benefits provided by Nafis to Emiratis working or seeking to work in the private sector, whether through financial support or training programme,” Wedad Al Shamlan, director of MoHRE Professional Guidance Department, said in a statement on Saturday.

She noted: “The guidebooks have been developed to clarify everything related to Nafis, Emiratisation plans, the importance of Emiratis joining the private sector, and the role of our talent in advancing economic and sustainable development in the country.”

Driving new opportunities

According to MoHRE, Emiratisation is an integral part of enhancing the competitiveness of UAE nationals in the private sector. The Nafis programme, meanwhile, encompasses a wide range of financial incentives to drive work opportunities for both young and experienced Emiratis in the private sector.

The awareness guidebooks launched by MoHRE address 11 topics, focusing on the Nafis electronic platform, the Regulation of Employment Relationship Law, fake Emiratisation and its administrative penalties, Unemployment Insurance Scheme, the Wage Protection System (WPS), in addition to information on pension and social security.
