AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN DUBAI EXHIBITOR LISTING 2012
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN DUBAI EXHIBITOR LISTING 2012 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Participants,
I would like, above all, to express my personal gratitude to all the firms and other enterprises that kindly accepted the university’s invitation to participate in ACT 2012. The dual challenges of educating to global standards and satisfying the human resource requirements of a vibrant local society can best be met through alliances between educators and professionals.
In my view, the objectives of a career fair are grounded in providing students and employers with the opportunity for “structured” exposure to one another. There is immeasurable value to both employers and entry-level employees in the contact and communication that lead to mutual understanding and reciprocal influence. Specifically, students become aware in the first person of employer offerings and expectations, and employers gain in their knowledge and understanding of the preparation and aspirations of AUD-generated talent.
ACT 2012 is an additional step forward in bringing The American University in Dubai to the professional public and the professional public to the university. I trust that this event enhances the university’s service to its student constituency and those who seek to employ AUD students.
In the final analysis, I am confident that ACT 2012 will help to advance the agenda of the community of which AUD so proudly forms a part.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lance de Masi President WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome to “ACT now” : AUD Careers Today!
What is “ACT now”?
“ACT now”: AUD Careers Today is AUD’s Career Fair that brings together the student and alumni community with regional and internationalemployers. This annual event aims to facilitate a mutually beneficial collaboration to ensure that AUD’s talent is employed by market leaders. In addition, the annual Career Fair facilitates the development of relationships between the AUD student community and employers in order to meet the dynamic needs of today’s marketplace.
What should you expect?
This year’s “ACT now” consists of 56 participants, representing multinational, regional, and local companies, covering a wide range of industries. Each company is represented by its Human Resources personnel, ready to answer questions on their company culture, employment opportunities and market trends. “ACT now” 2012 offers to AUD students and alumni a great opportunity to counteract with company representatives and prepare better their career planning and professional development.
What should you hope to achieve by attending “ACT now”?
The Career Fair is a prime opportunity for students and alumni to introduce themselves to companies of their interest. It is your opportunity to positively market yourself with your professional CV/application documents, well groomed attire, professional behavior and communication skills.
Where do you go from here?
Ideally, you should receive a call from a company requesting an interview for an appropriate job opening that suits your profile and skills. During the event you can acquire useful company contacts which can be utilized for a follow up after the event.
We hope you can make the best of this experience and enjoy the 2012 “ACT now” Career Fair!

Since its inception in 2003 at the initiative of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai, Dubai Economic Council (DEC) has continuously played a major role in supporting the Government of Dubai’s economic policy decision-making. The Dubai Economic Council, chaired by H.E.

Hani Al Hamli encompassing a world-class team of economists, strategists, researchers and legal advisors.
In its short history the DEC has transformed itself into a vital player in advancing Dubai’s economic agenda providing the Emirate with sound economic policy recommendations that are the culmination of extensive, cutting-edge research, and dynamic dialogue built on the contributions of representatives of the public and private sectors and world-renowned academics.
As Dubai’s position in the global economy advanced with increasing momentum, the DEC evolved to accompany the growing needs of Dubai and the UAE as a whole, which stands as testimony to the DEC’s crucial role in shaping Dubai’s economic reality. In light of this, the Secretariat established the Economic Policy and Research Center (EPRC), the Dubai Competitiveness Center (DCC), and the Legal Affairs and Research Center (LARC); which together form the operational arms of the Dubai Economic Council.
The DEC’s ambitious agenda is shaped by a set of mandates from which its vision, mission, and strategic objectives are drawn with an eye to not only be an integral partner in Dubai’s and UAE’s economy, but to develop into a strategic centre for economic policy research and study in the region.
