Preparing talent for the UAE market requires closer alignment between training, recruitment and workplace realities.

TTE recently hosted H.E. Amb. Jayne Toroitich, Consul General of the Republic of Kenya to Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and Ms. Angela Mbaya, Labour Attaché for a discussion on how this alignment can be strengthened for Kenyan talent.

The conversation explored potential collaboration with technical and vocational institutes in Kenya, with a focus on preparing candidates for the practical requirements of UAE industries. It also covered structured recruitment, smoother onboarding and the development of a more sustainable talent pipeline. Through one-to-one interactions with Kenyan employees, the delegation also gained insight into their experiences, challenges and overall well-being in the UAE.

The exchange brought valuable perspectives together to support a more effective journey from training and recruitment to workplace integration.
