Emiratisation
Shell UAE's Emiratisation programme allows Shell to become the employer of choice for Emirati nationals. Inspired by UAE Vision 2021.
It is part of our commitment to develop the local workforce in the UAE, by developing a significant number of UAE nationals throughout the years both graduate / experienced, Males / Females and send them to different locations to come back and share the global knowledge to impact UAE and lead the way.
Many UAE nationals working for Shell hold technical and commercial positions at all levels of the company, from young people beginning their careers to senior managers.
We are proud that UAE national work in all aspects of our business, including engineers, finance and commercial experts, geologists, researchers, IT specialists, legal consultants, technicians, human resources advisors, project managers, business analysts and marketing professionals.
What is Emiratisation?
Emiratisation is defined as the identification and development of quality, competent Emirati males and females to assume permanent positions in our industry. Our objective is Quality Emiratisation.
The preparation of quality Emiratis is based on performance, and competence rather than time.
Emiratisation requires the support and commitment of experienced Emirati and expatriate staff, at all levels, to develop and train inexperienced Emiratis and help them gain valuable on-the-job experience.
