Abu Dhabi: The Emiratisation process is offering jobs to over 700 Emirati students across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Gharbia (the Western Region).
According to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed yesterday between the Abu Dhabi Emiratisation Council and the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), full-time opportunities and vacancies have been offered before the new academic year to achieve sustainable employment.
Incident
Both male and female Emiratis who have completed their secondary school education are included in the recruitment opportunity and have already been offered vacancies in schools, namely as transportation and safety officers, learning resource officers and school administrators.
The MoU was signed between Dr Mugheer Al Khaili, General Manager of the ADEC, and Abdullah Al Darmaki, the new Chief Executive of the Abu Dhabi Emiratisation Council.
Al Khaili told Gulf News the vacancies had been specifically designed to lessen chaos among students after school hours.
"After the incident of the four-year-old Indian child suffocating and dying in a school bus, we decided that transportation officers and supervisors were immediately required to further develop security systems in schools."
Four-year-old Aatish Shabin was accidentally locked inside a school bus last May. "There was no control or supervision on school buses, this will now change. We don't want another tragedy happening, said Al Khaili.
