Dubai: Tanmia, the National Human Resource Development and Employment Authority, has announced its partnership with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) for creating job opportunities for Emiratis.
It will promote UNOPS' Junior Professional Officer programme, an initiative that will enable Emiratis to acquire UN experience.
Initially 10 junior officers will be accommodated at UNOPS corporate headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark and in the Dubai office of UNOPS.
Partnership
The selected UAE Nationals will receive on-the-job training in the relevant departments and learn UN and UNOPS specific procedures and practices.
Further, the Dubai based staff will also engage in activities, identified in collaboration with Tanmia, in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and programming. Commenting on the partnership, Ahmad Al Ahmadi, Manager, Tanmia Office Dubai, said, "We are pleased to partner with UNOPS to provide few UAE Nationals a new experience. "This partnership can be extended to establish projects where Tanmia and UNOPS share a common goal, especially in areas such as environment protection and CSR as a whole. We thank UNOPS for their contribution and support to UAE's Emiratisation efforts and we look forward to teaming up with them for similar initiatives in the future."
Business culture
Ivano Iannelli, Chief of Programme Development Unit, UNOPS, said, "We are glad to be able to contribute in a small way to the visionary growth of the UAE via this extremely relevant initiative.
"We will provide the UAE Nationals a work environment that is conducive to the growth of their humanitarian competencies and we are certain that they will thoroughly enjoy their experience with us."
UNOPS is keen on utilising Tanmia's commitment to CSR to launch a campaign aimed at transforming the business culture in the UAE.
The campaign would identify a number of processes and activities that could be integrated into the business environment to contribute to the required cultural change.
