A Tawjeeh center is a guidance center approved by MOHRE, the UAE labour ministry. Its sessions brief workers and employers on their rights and duties and explain the employment contract. MOHRE's employment contract service says workers at skill levels 5 to 9 attend a guidance workshop when their contract is issued or renewed, and contracts for levels 6 to 9 are delivered at workers' awareness centers. In Dubai, 8 of the 90 centers on MOHRE's business services and guidance list carry guidance, Tawjeeh or Tathqeef in their name, and MOHRE publishes no address for any of them, so a map search rarely finds one. The steps below explain how to reach one.
Who has to attend
| Worker | Tawjeeh step |
|---|---|
| Skill levels 1 to 4 (degree or diploma jobs) | No guidance workshop listed |
| Skill level 5 | Guidance workshop at contract issue or renewal |
| Skill levels 6 to 9 | Guidance workshop, and the contract is delivered at a workers' awareness center |
Source: MOHRE "Issuance/Renewal of Employment Contracts" service, checked . The skill level is the one on the work permit, set from the job and the certificates submitted. The employer files the contract, so the employer or its Tasheel center normally books the session; the work permit renewal page shows where it falls at renewal time.

Source: MOHRE business services and guidance centers, filtered to Dubai, checked . MOHRE does not tag centers as Tawjeeh or Tasheel. We class a center as Tawjeeh when its name or email says guidance, Tawjeeh or Tathqeef. Plenty of the other 82 centers on the same list also offer guidance services, so a Tasheel center near you may be able to help too.
Two groups also run other licences in Dubai. The Tathqeef group has an Amer center in Al Quoz. Quality Government Services has an Amer center in Dubai Investments Park. Asking at those Amer centers is one practical way to find the guidance branch.
How to reach a Tawjeeh center with no address
- Open the MOHRE business services and guidance centers search.
- Search by the center's name from the table above.
- Open its detail page. MOHRE shows a facility number, a phone number and an email for nearly every center.
- Call or write to ask for the address and the session times. MOHRE publishes no hours for these centers.
- Search the company name in Google Maps once you have the address.
We do not show center phone numbers or emails on this site. MOHRE's detail page is the place to get them.
What a Tawjeeh session covers
Based on MOHRE's own description, a guidance session covers:
- Your rights and duties as a worker, or as an employer
- What your employment contract says and how it works
- The rules MOHRE applies to private sector employment
MOHRE does not publish a session length or a fee on its center pages. Anyone quoting a fixed fee should show you where it comes from.
What to bring
Bring your passport, Emirates ID if you have one, and the employment contract or offer your employer gave you. If your employer has sent you, ask for the MOHRE transaction number so the center can find your file. Keep any certificate or receipt you are given until the contract shows as issued on MOHRE's inquiry service.
Tawjeeh, Tasheel and Tadbeer side by side
| Center | What it is for | Count in Dubai |
|---|---|---|
| Tawjeeh | Guidance sessions and contract briefings | 8 (by name) |
| Tasheel | Work permits, contracts, labour cards, company files | 82 |
| Tadbeer | Maids, nannies, drivers and other domestic workers | 42 |
If you employ household staff, Tawjeeh is the wrong door. The maid visa guide covers domestic worker rules. For the full map of who does what, see Amer vs Tasheel vs typing center.
Once the MOHRE side is done, the residence visa is a GDRFA step at an Amer center. The employment visa page shows the whole sequence for new hires.
