ABU DHABI // The National and Reserve Service Committee has asked companies and organisations to nominate eligible candidates for its next recruiting session on January 16.
The committee posted a notice on social media on Sunday, stating: “All government entities and private sector organisations are urged to send a list that includes 45 per cent of male Emirati employees who are eligible for reserve service under the National Service and Reserve Law.”
The companies and organisations are also required to prepare a “back-up” list of another 10 per cent of eligible male Emirati employees, should some included in the first list not comply with requirements.
The move is to action preparations for recruitment into the upcoming batch of reserves on January 16.
Lists must be sent to info@uaensr.ae.
The committee also asked companies to inform all nominated candidates to visit recruiting offices to complete recruitment proceedings.
Training for the national service takes nine months or two years, and is mandatory for every able-bodied Emirati male between the ages of 18 and 30.

What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology, a digital system in which data is recorded across multiple places at the same time. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs have no central administrator or centralised data storage. They are transparent because the data is visible and, because they are automatically replicated and impossible to be tampered with, they are secure.
The main difference between blockchain and other forms of DLT is the way data is stored as ‘blocks’ – new transactions are added to the existing ‘chain’ of past transactions, hence the name ‘blockchain’. It is impossible to delete or modify information on the chain due to the replication of blocks across various locations.
Blockchain is mostly associated with cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Due to the inability to tamper with transactions, advocates say this makes the currency more secure and safer than traditional systems. It is maintained by a network of people referred to as ‘miners’, who receive rewards for solving complex mathematical equations that enable transactions to go through.
However, one of the major problems that has come to light has been the presence of illicit material buried in the Bitcoin blockchain, linking it to the dark web.
Other blockchain platforms can offer things like smart contracts, which are automatically implemented when specific conditions from all interested parties are reached, cutting the time involved and the risk of mistakes. Another use could be storing medical records, as patients can be confident their information cannot be changed. The technology can also be used in supply chains, voting and has the potential to used for storing property records.
