Smart Dubai has announced the launch of a new
official central employment portal which will offer both citizens and
expatriates an opportunity to apply for jobs that suit them.
Dubai Careers, developed by Smart Dubai
Government Establishment, the technology arm of Smart Dubai, is an innovative
platform that will help connect job seekers of all categories anywhere with
Dubai government entities, officials announced during a press conference on
Wednesday.
And while only government jobs are listed on
the site initially, private sector jobs will be posted at a "later
stage," said officials.
The centralized portal, which can be accessed
on www.dubaicareers.ae and on the smart app ‘Dubai Careers’, has been designed
with a smart mechanism to deal with employment applications.It also offers a
convenient search functionality for jobs including for fresh graduates and
persons with special needs, they said.
The portal enables job seekers to link their
accounts with their LinkedIn job profile. It also offers people a chance to
look for volunteer jobs. The Dubai Careers platform is part of the government's
required change in the mechanism of work of attracting talents and managing
Dubai human resources to empower Dubai residents with a better career and
enable the private sector in general and the government establishments in
particular to play their role in implementing the Dubai 10X Initiative so as to
have a platform that meets the expected needs of the world in 10 years from
now.
Through the 360 integrated experience provided
by the Dubai Careers platform, it is important to contribute to providing the
market with such highly qualified jobseekers and tools that are aligned with
the UAE centennial 2071 requirements in order for the platform to contribute to
achieving the enablers mentioned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Duabi, when
he said:"Future generations will need foundations and pre-set tools that
we introduce today, there needs to be an environment for growth, and this is
something that we should think about from now."
The Dubai Careers platform will be the smart
mind for managing and investing in Dubai and providing government
establishments and the private sector with the best competencies in all fields.
It will also serve as a tool to lever government efficiency in the field of
employment and shorten the time and effort of both establishments and
jobseekers alike. At the same time, the platform will provide smart tools for
jobseekers to develop themselves and keep abreast of the latest updates of
career competition and self-development. There is one common element that
combines all the national strategies led by the government of the future and
focus on human capital, who are the main title of our today's initiative:
empowering people and investing in their abilities.
