The pavilion throws light on the professional counseling programs aimed to support and empower job seekers as well as high school and university students to work in the private sector by providing counseling services. Through these services, various counseling materials and tools are used to familiarize these job seekers and students with their own abilities and professional inclinations and enable them to make the optimal choice for appropriate occupations in the labor market.

It also highlights the ‘National Self Employment Platform’, which enables Emiratis above 21 years to complete the services requested by government and private entities such as translation, website designing, photography etc. for a fee that an Emirati gets for the service he provides via www.aefreelancer.ae

On its platform, the MoHRE is showcasing the training system and the 'Wajihni' program for field and summer training, which is a smart platform to enable Emirati students to obtain field and summer training opportunities in the private sector by searching and finding various training opportunities.
