Are your assessment processes supporting or hindering your nationalisation targets?
Emiratisation and nationalisation programmes across the GCC face a common obstacle: assessment processes designed for international contexts that do not account for the specific background, educational trajectory, and cultural context of national candidates. When assessment instruments are not validated for local populations, organisations make poor selection decisions — over-rejecting strong national candidates or advancing candidates who are not genuinely ready.
Qaitas is uniquely positioned to support nationalisation programmes with assessment solutions that have been specifically Arabized and validated in the UAE. GPI assessments carry UAE-specific validation completed October 2024. Genos EI instruments are available in Arabic. Our Assessment Centres are designed with MENA-specific simulation exercises and Arabic-speaking assessors. We understand the NAFIS framework and can align assessment methodology to national competency requirements.
Organisations across these sectors face this challenge most acutely in the Gulf context:
