Sighting extended support to the programme of Emiratisation in the country, Union Coop, the largest consumer cooperative in the UAE, announced the immediate recruitment of 44 UAE Nationals during its ‘Open Day’ recruitment drive, held at Etihad Mall.

The Director of Human Resources and Emiratisation at Union Coop, Ahmed Bin Kenaid, has been optimistic about Union Coop’s relentless effort towards Emiratisation. He said: “Union Coop has organised six ‘Open Day’ recruitment drives since the beginning of the year 2019, as a part of its commitment to contribute towards the Emiratisation initiative.”

“We have intensified our efforts this year to attract more national talents to work with us and support them to improve and provide the best services,” adds Bin Kenaid.

“We look forward to recruiting and developing more UAE Nationals, who are able, and ambitious to build a successful career full of expertise and information,” said Bin Kenaid, highlighting the importance of Emiratisation to Union Coop.

Union Coop has one of the highest Emiratisation rates among private sector enterprises in the country and is keen to hold training courses and workshops to upgrade the skills of its employees and update their knowledge about everything new in the world of the retail industry.
