The Emirates Group is intensifying its Emiratisation efforts by participating in the Ru’ya Careers UAE 2023, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 28 to 30. The event presents a golden opportunity for Emiratis—from students to seasoned professionals—to explore a multitude of career paths and development programs.
Diverse Opportunities for Emirati Professionals
At the heart of this initiative is a wide range of roles across various sectors. The Emirates Group offers tailored programs such as the National Cadet Pilot Programme and the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Licence (AMEL) Programme, addressing the needs of aspiring pilots and engineers. For those interested in technology, there is the IT Graduate Programme, while the Khatwaty High School Graduate Programme is designed for younger participants. Additionally, the Group provides pathways in cabin crew, a general Graduate Programme, an Outstation Programme, and internships for those seeking initial exposure to the industry.
Broader Career Horizons
These programs extend across Emirates airline and dnata, encompassing fields like flight operations, engineering, airport services, cargo, technology, data management, commercial activities, customer experience, and corporate functions. As the UAE’s aviation industry flourishes, driven by projects such as the development of Al Maktoum International Airport, Emirati professionals are poised to access a diverse array of career opportunities beyond the traditional aviation roles.
Commitment to Long-Term Development
Yousuf bin Lahej, Vice President of Emiratisation and Government Relations at the Emirates Group, emphasizes the Group’s commitment to nurturing Emirati talent. He states, “Our approach to Emiratisation is about providing UAE Nationals with opportunities to build fulfilling careers, contribute to an organization connecting Dubai and the UAE globally, and partake in the nation’s vision and growth.” The Emirates Group engages with potential candidates early on through career fairs, school visits, and open days, ensuring that Emiratis are well-informed about the various career paths available within the organization.
Supporting Emirati Growth and Ambitions
The Emirates Group aims to foster an environment where Emirati talent can thrive, offering continuous development and robust support. By doing so, the Group not only enables Emiratis to take on greater responsibilities but also equips them with internationally relevant skills through exposure to seasoned professionals and comprehensive training programs.
Invitation to Explore Career Opportunities
The Emirates Group extends an invitation to Emiratis and their families to visit its expansive 300-square-metre stand at the Ru’ya Careers UAE event, located in Zabeel Hall 3, Legacy Hall, Stand Z3-1. This platform allows attendees to engage with the team, explore available opportunities, and identify a career path that aligns with their aspirations and contributes to the UAE’s growth and ambitions.
