Abu Dhabi: Emirates Foundation has released the H1 2023 results of its DAWAMEE Programme, which aims to secure remote and part-time employment opportunities for UAE Nationals in line with the national Emiratisation agenda.
The results showed that 826 jobseekers benefited from the programme during the period, 385 candidates were screened to interview, over 100 of whom were successfully hired by the partners of the programme. The total number of job offers made by partners to Emirati jobseekers crossed 120.
Jamal Al Khater, Manager of DAWAMEE Programme, said: “The impressive results we have seen so far in 2023 have been largely down to the vital role played by our partners, and we would like to applaud their efforts in helping make DAWAMEE a success. This programme is so important for raising awareness about flexible employment, whether part-time or remote job opportunities – especially for UAE Nationals who may have felt their options were limited – we are delighted to see the progress thus far.”
Key partners to the programme include Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), Al Ansari Exchange, LM Exchange, EFS Facilities Services, and Al Salam Community School.
