Four years ago, the REHAB Forum launched the first recruitment fair for disabled individuals. The recruitment pavilion was dedicated to recruiting special needs youth of the UAE while providing them with the best professional options in order to select from different employments in private and public organizations who are interested in hiring qualified disabled personnel. This idea was the first of its kind in the Middle East and achieved excellent positive returns on social, psychological and emotional levels. This was made possible due to contributions from the private and public organizations.
In this edition of REHAB, there are three major national associations participating in the recruitment pavilion. These associations aim to help educate, train and employ disabled personnel, through integrating them in the work field.
