ADNOC and NAFIS in collaboration to connect UAE talent with leading private sector corporations

June 28, 2022

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced that it has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (NAFIS) to accelerate recruitment of UAE talent in the private sector, with the aim to create 3,000 additional jobs for UAE nationals in its supply chain by 2025.

Through this agreement, ADNOC will step up its efforts to ensure that companies in its supply chain are making use of the programs and incentives offered by NAFIS for hiring local talent. ADNOC will also contribute to raising the competitiveness of UAE nationals, by encouraging them to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the NAFIS programme.

The signing of the agreement was witnessed by His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, as well as His Excellency Dr. Abdulrahman Al Awar, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation. The agreement was signed by His Excellency Ghannam Al Mazrouei, Secretary General of NAFIS and Mr Abdulmunim Al Kindi, Executive Director of People, Technology and Corporate Services in ADNOC.

H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber said: “Through the creation of the NAFIS programme, the UAE leadership has demonstrated its strong commitment to unlocking opportunities for local talent to work and succeed in the private sector. Inspired by this vision, ADNOC is fully committed to working with NAFIS and private corporations in our supply chain to facilitate and promote the matching of UAE talent with private sector opportunities. I warmly welcome this agreement, which is closely aligned to our broader efforts to support the expansion of a dynamic industral sector in the UAE, and create new high quality job opportunities.”

As the UAE prepares for its next 50 years, NAFIS will support a sustainable and diverse economy by enabling UAE nationals to play an increasing role in the private sector and to continue to make a vital contribution in advancing the nation’s economic development. Through tailored initiatives, NAFIS works to integrate UAE nationals in existing and new fields within the private sector. The program is based on cooperation between the federal government, local authorities and private sector companies to achieve common interests and to build a stronger and more sustainable economy.
