human resources as regards the number
of UAE nationals in each company besides
the type of jobs and profession
pretty much needed by ADNOC Group
of Companies.
The GNRD also assumes follow-up
and maintains good coordination with
ADNOC group of Companies in addition
to the companies in which
ADNOC owns an interest by providing
them with an annual plan for the recruitment
of UAE nationals accompanied
by the training and rehabilitation
programs. We also make regular checkouts
and inspection to verify implementation
of the five-year plans and
abidance by the training and rehabilitation
programs. As for the replacement
of job positions with UAE nationals it
may be suitable to some extend in the
light of the current reality of the local
labor market because the Emiratisation
as strategic program depends on a structured
and holistic approach. Single initiatives
are not sufficient the
Emiratisation process depends on a
number of elements and needs a number
of requirements which our government
and ADNOC Group of
Companies are earnestly working to provide
according to a scientific strategic
plan.
What are the procedures
adopted by the GNRD for selection
and recruitment of
UAE national in ADNOC
Group of Companies?
The GNRD has designated two receptions
in its premises one for the
males and other for the females, when
the applicants approach the GNRD the
receptionist enters the information of
each applicant in the system and gives
the applicant a reference number. Files
received from the applicants are classi-
The GNRD organizes Career Fairs to attract UAE Nationals
fied into two categories; the university
graduates from inside UAE and abroad
and the second category comprises the
secondary schools graduates and below.
Thereafter the GNRD verifies the academic
qualification and conducts an
English language test for the applicants.
Depending on the selection requirements
and the vacancies available in
ADNOC and its Group of Companies
the employment officer of the GNRD
makes an initial decision. The employment
officer then submits his initial decision
for approval by the chairman of
the division who in turn submits his decision
for the final endorsement by the
GNRD manger. As for the applicants
with undergraduate diplomas or INJAZ
certificate, a test in English language and
computer is conducted to the applicants
under this category in addition to an interview
by the employment officer. If
the applicant passes the test successfully
and if there is a vacant job in ADNOC
Group of Companies, the GNRD
makes an interview with the applicant
and thereafter it decides the employment,
or the closure of the applicant’s
file depending on his academic, practical
and cultural level.
If there is a vacant position in
ADNOC Group of companies and the
scientific level of the applicant is found
to be very high the GNRD nominates
the applicant to ADNOC Group to decide
on his case. And if the level of an applicant
is found to be below the required
average the applicant will be transferred
o the waiting list.
The role of the GNRD is not restricted
only to selection and recruitment
of UAE nationals we maintain
records to follow up performance of all
UAE nationals, who have been selected
to join ADNOC group of Companies
we are monitoring their performance,
following up their in service training
and rehabilitation programs. We also
follow up and study the reasons which
force the UAE nationals to resign and
desert.
From your viewpoint do you
think the output of our educational
system is suitable to
the labor market in quality
