UAE jobs: ADNOC, Nafis to hire 5,000 private sector workers by 2027

The hiring will take place through ETCC’s Nafis programme and is aimed at employing UAE talent for skilled jobs, in the oil company’s supply chain.

Moreover, the entity will open several programs and incentives to further increase the nationals’ skills and competitiveness in their respective fields.

“Today, thousands of UAE nationals are playing key roles across ADNOC’s supply chain and helping to ensure we remain a reliable supplier of lower-carbon energy to the world. As we decarbonise and future-proof our business, ADNOC will continue to empower local talent to build successful careers and contribute to the UAE’s economic development and prosperity,” UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said.

ADNOC’s efforts in nurturing local talent

The state-owned oil giant, in collaboration with its suppliers and partners, promote initiatives to nurture local talent.

In 2022, the company hosted six private sector career weeks so as to match local talent with employment opportunities in its registered partners and suppliers in the private sector, the statement said.

“The agreement will also strengthen cooperation frameworks in order to achieve the strategic goals of increasing the rate of Emiratisation in the private sector and empowering our local talent in the labor market. Through the agreement, ADNOC will provide training opportunities for 1,000 graduates in private companies operating in ADNOC’s supply chain through Nafis’s Apprentice Programme,” ETCC secretary general Ghannam Butti Al Mazrouei said.

The statement also added that Al Mazrouei pointed out his confidence that such cooperation will provide Emiratis with a sustainable opportunity to achieve prosperity and excellence in their career path.
