Looking for a job? DSCD is eyeing talented Emiratis

sharjah — During its participation at the National Career Exhibition 2017 in Sharjah from February 15-17, the Sharjah Department of Statistics and Community Development (DSCD) will accept CVs from candidates interested in employment with the department.

They will also use the opportunity to answer all queries.

The Sharjah government department says the interaction will enable prospective Emirati job seekers to start the process of applying for available vacancies at DSCD that match their academic qualifications and meet job requirements. The event is happening at the Expo Centre Sharjah.

Commenting on the participation in the exhibition, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Thani, Chairman of DSCD, said it is in line with its vision to invest in talented human capital, qualify and train a dynamic national workforce and enhance Emiratisation at the department and across other government entities. He pointed out that all of the department’s vacant positions last year were filled by Emiratis who applied for jobs during the National Career Exhibition 2016.

“The DSCD takes part in the National Career Exhibition every year, which stems from its CSR vision and its belief in the importance of the event in boosting its efforts to develop community development plans in the Emirate of Sharjah and enhance Emiratisation,” said Al Thani.

“The DSCD is one of the leading government bodies in terms of rate of Emiratisation. Over the past few years, we have achieved exceptional results in pursuing the policy, with Emiratis now comprising 95 per cent of employees in the department,” he added.

The DSCD’s stand at the fair will feature a new initiative titled ‘Register Your Attendance,’ which will be launched in the presence of Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani and a number of section heads at the department. The activity will collect data on visitors’ occupational status and will share information with the entities concerned in Sharjah, as well as the federal government, in order to support Emiratisation and community development programmes.
