Supported by the Abu Dhabi Education Council, NAJAH brings together leading academic institutions and businesses with school leaders, university students and professionals who are seeking a career change within an uncertain economic climate.

Taking place at ADNEC until Thursday 22 October, NAJAH features a vast selection of local, regional and international universities and organisations, along with job profiling, an assessment centre, career counselling, and a new Education and Career Forum.
The opening day featured a range of respected speakers offering guidance and advice to an audience of students from the emirates' schools and universities. Highlights included a presentation on studying in the USA by the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi and a session on choosing the right education programme by Dr Ayoub Zazim, Executive Director of Dubai International Academic City.
