The Abu
Dhabi Tawteen Council, ADTC, has partnered with the Higher Colleges of
Technology, HCT, in Abu Dhabi to launch the first phase of a new online
manpower system which will assist Emirati graduates match their skill-sets to
jobs in the Abu Dhabi labour market.
The new Mustaqbali, or "My Future", interface is
designed to provide HCT students with access to up-to-date information and data
relating to in-demand professions and disciplines in the Abu Dhabi labour
market.
As a result of using Mustaqbali, the students will gain valuable
knowledge of the most prominent employers and requirements of the various
disciplines in Abu Dhabi’s workforce which match their skills and
specialisations. This will ultimately enable new Emirati graduates to access
job opportunities and boost the local economy.
Abdulla Abdulaali Al Humaidan, Executive Director of the ADTC, and
Dr. Sultan Hussain Karmostaji, Director of the HCT-Abu Dhabi Colleges, attended
the event, as well as key officials from each institution.
Dr. Abdullatif Al Shamsi, Vice Chancellor of the HCT, said that
the importance of the cooperation between the Abu Dhabi Tawteen Council and HCT
lies in providing graduates that are matched with the local labour market.
"The Mustaqbali system reduces the gap between higher
education outputs and the future needs of the labour market and higher education
inputs. Students get the opportunity of knowing the required specialisations in
the coming years on which they can make informed choices," Dr. Al Shamsi
said.
Dr. Sultan Karmostaji, Director of Abu Dhabi Colleges, said that
7,412 HCT students in Abu Dhabi will benefit from the programme in its first
phase, which will be linked to the Higher Colleges of Technology, Zayed
University and the Al Ain University for Sciences and Technology.
The ADTC is currently completing the second phase of this system,
which will provide work placement and internships opportunities to students
while they are studying in college, thus equipping them with the necessary
skills and preparing them for employment following graduation. –End-
