About Nawah — نواة
- Nawah (نواة) means 'seed' in Arabic — reflecting our belief that great careers, like great harvests, start with the right conditions to grow.
- Nawah is Al Dahra's structured Emirati talent development program, designed to give UAE nationals a genuine launchpad into private sector careers in agribusiness.
- Nawah interns are given real work, real projects, and real mentors from day one. Every intern is registered with NAFIS and the Abu Dhabi Pension Fund, and top performers are considered for full time roles at the end of the program.
AVAILABLE TRACKS
- Contract Management (Kezad): Draft, review and manage commercial agreements supporting Al Dahra's supplier and customer relationships.
- Customer Service (Kezad/Fujairah): Handle B2B and B2C customer interactions, order tracking, and CRM management across commodity distribution channels.
- Logistics & Supply Chain (Kezad / Fujairah / Al Ain): Assist in inbound freight, warehousing, distribution planning, and customs documentation at port and depot level.
- Nutrition & Animal Production (Al Ain): Assist in the Nutrition and animal production cycle in Al Ain Farm.
