Dubai: The Careers UAE exhibition 2013 will bring Emirati job-seekers and recruiters under one roof from April 30 to May 2 for employment, training and academic opportunities.

This year the event which is held under the patronage of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has witnessed a strong turn-out of companies with an increase of 20 per cent from last year.

The companies participating represent a broad cross-section of the economy, ranging from ICT, finance, trade and commerce, oil and gas, hospitality, education, transportation, government, semi-government and more.
