Youths puts skills ahead of money
Young
Emirati graduates prefer skills over salaries when looking for a job. That was
what was proved in a forum held yesterday to discuss the issue of young Emiratis
joining the work market.
A study
among Emirati students proved that when they look for jobs, salary is not the
only factor they consider. Growth and promotion chances matter so much to
them. Unluckily Emirati youths do not
realize the chances they have in the private sector and on the other hand the
employers believe that Emirati youth just care for high salaries.
In the
Tawdheef Recruitment Show more than 2,500 jobs were seized. This followed the
UAE government declaration of 2013 as the year of Emiratisation. Sulaf, the executive
officer of the training said that this plan will not work if the youth are not
to be the centre of it.
70 percent
of the graduates in a forum discussing this issue of jobs said that getting a
job is their first priority. However when choosing between the private sector
and government , the main factors that Emirati youth considered were promotion
and growth chances.
From the
above writing we can see that young men of the UAE are mature enough when it
comes to their future. Attractive salaries are not enough to grasp their
attention. What they look for are the possibilities of moving forward in the
job and the opportunities of developing one’s career and knowledge. Job fairs
and career guidance besides the workshops with guests from all over the world
can help create new perceptions and enlighten young men is mentalities.
