For candidates with a mastery of more than one language, these industries are in need of global talents Dubai, UAE, May 16, 2016: In an increasingly globalised world, the need to communicate in multiple languages has become a key component to successful international business processes. A number of industries are in need of multilingual candidates to fill positions throughout their employee base. At Careers UAE 2016, held at Dubai World Trade Centre from May 16-18, employers searching for new hires will have a keen eye out for candidates that speak English, French, German, Spanish and more, in addition to their native Arabic. The below industries are in particular need of talent with a keen ear for language: Aviation According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, a branch of the United Nations that aims to promote cooperation between aviation regulatory bodies, all aviation must be conducted in English. In short, pilots, ground crew and other staff essential in keeping the fleet flying safely need to communicate clearly in English. As well, cabin crew and other client facing staff need to communicate in a multitude of languages to cater to the needs of their customers. As regional carriers rapidly expand their services to add new, international routes, the demand for multilingual staff is on the rise. Finance The effects of economic fluctuations are no longer confined by borders, and financial institutions need to stay abreast of market happenings throughout the world. Analytic tools, international trading news and financial predictions can serve keep financial institutions flush with up-to-the-minute information, however, if that information cannot be interpreted quickly, banks and trading firms may find themselves behind the times. “NBAD’s human resources are a natural reflection of the UAE’s globally integrated economic environment. Of our 7600 employees, 33 percent are Emirati, along with over 80 other nationalities, all working together to expand the bank’s local and international reach. Language skills are therefore among our most important recruitment criteria,” said Talal AbdulRahman, NBAD’s Group Head of Talent Acquisition. As the UAE becomes a hub for financial activity in the region, financial institutions such as National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Arab Bank and Commercial Bank International will be on the hunt for young, talented Emiratis with a mastery of a foreign language. Logistics The logistics industry is the backbone of modern trading and includes supply chain management, fleet management and safety enhancement. In a region with an ever-expanding logistics infrastructure, companies in the UAE are looking to support their global operations with multilingual talent. “The ability to clearly communicate in a foreign language, particularly English, is a benefit to our operations,” said H.E. Mohammed A. Ahli, Director General of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and CEO of Dubai Air Navigation Services. “As global market requirements and trends have transformed over the years, our leaders have empowered the youth through education to become global leaders themselves. Emirati youth are well known for their exceptional bilingual skills, which can enable them to pursue careers in multinational entities and on a global scale”. From the sky to supply chains, businesses across the board are in need of new talent with multiple language skills. Companies such as Emirates Group, DP World and National Bank of Abu Dhabi will all be searching for multilingual talent at Careers UAE 2016, held this year at Dubai World Trade Centre from 16-18 May.
