Do you agree that training is the key ingredient for achieving Emiratization labor force goals ?
Expatriates rate in U.A.E is about80% of the total population.
I believe the adoption of the Gulf states on expatriate labor does not reduce significantly the different skills and work under pressure and communicate with other severe and, unfortunately, many have no idea about this communication and interest him
Job opportunities in the UAE is great but you need to competencies to fill this post and there must be a work environment to suit all combined categories that was inside or outside the Emirate, with priority given to the son of the homeland and the policy of resettlement need the support to achieve significantly and reduces the chances of action arrivals only unspecified number of jobs
I prefer that a country trains its own people and find them good jobs and in parallel invite people from other countries as an exchange of knowledge.
I am not familiar with the Emirates job market, but expect that it reduced the opportunities in some industries more than others especially in governmental bodies and service companies.
Generally there is a sluggish trend, still there is ample scope for the professionals and skilled category.
The Training requirements are heavy in all sectors and only those companies who have a clear vision adhere to quality training needs and need to be informed and educated training needs--as the cost benefit is much higher--the resultant improvement in efficient add to substantial revenues. Expatriate constitute a vast majority, is a fact--but their requirements continue to be the same so long as the development of the infrastructure continue and upsurge.
Yes, I do, but for a country that is great news. I hope it was all solved by citizens, but that cannot go that fast I fear
Yes I do think so, and this is great for the country.

New Emiratisation policies at top of ministry’s list
January25,2014 Updated: January25,201407:11 PM
ABU DHABI // The Ministry of Labour plans to work on new Emiratisation policies, the ministry undersecretary has said.
At a meeting earlier this week with members of the Federal National Council, Humaid bin Deemas spoke of the ministry’s plan for the next three years, assuring them that Emiratisation was a top priority.
He told members that Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, has asked the ministry to ensure Emiratisation figures increase tenfold over the next seven years.
He acknowledged the challenge, and said the ministry planned to work with its partners to set policies in line with current laws. The ministry is only mandated to regulate the private and semi-government sector in the country.
Mr bin Deemas added that the ministry would redevelop its strategy of categorising businesses. Currently categories are based on talent, Emiratisation quotas and company breaches.
He said the ministry would continue to bring in the best expatriate talent.
He noted that in a recent international survey, the Global Talent Competitiveness Index, the UAE was ranked19th for attracting talent.
“We were among20 other western countries, no other Arab countries were higher,” he said. “If we are at19th place now, we can be15 or10 soon. If we want to be the first worldwide, we will.”
He said one of the ways the ministry was making good use of the current workforce was allowing women on their husband’s or father’s visa a two-year work permit. There are about50,000 people in this category, mostly working at schools and hair salons.
Salim Al Ameri, an FNC member from Abu Dhabi, told Mr bin Deemas that some people have complained to that the permit was not subject to renewal after two years and needed to be reprocessed all over again, Mr bin Deemas said the two processes could be done online and were hassle-free.
In the area of inspections, Mr bin Deemas said the ministry would go beyond conventional methods of “getting an inspector, give them a car and tell them to go and inspect. We must now think of smart inspections and inspections that are not foreseen,” he said.
He said with more than30,000 establishments in the country, the task was daunting.
“We cannot inspect all, we should know where to go,” he said. “With smart inspections, we will know where to go and hit a live target.”
Since2000, the ministry has been feeding a database with information on all companies in the country.
“Much like the wages protection system, which not only tells us who doesn’t pay wages, but it also tells us about the relationship employers have with employers,” he said. “So that even before inspections, we know that this is a place to inspect.”
