The Real Estate Day for Emiratis Employment 2024 took place on Monday by the Dubai Land Department, in collaboration with the Emirati Human Resources Development Council, Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, Emirates Talent Competitiveness Council (Nafis), Community Development Authority and sponsored by Emaar.
The event was held with the aim to attract Emirati talent to join the booming real estate sector in Dubai.
In attendance was Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Emirati Human Resources Development Council; Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director General of Dubai’s Community Development Authority; Ghannam Al Mazrouei, Secretary-General of the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council ‘Nafis’; Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al-Falasi, Director General of Dubai Government Human Resources Department; and Farida Abdulla Al Ali, Assistant Undersecretary of National Human Resources Employment.
The Real Estate Day took place in participation with 53 companies with over 300 job openings.
Eng. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Chairman of the Human Resources Development Council in Dubai, said: “Our wise leadership’s vision has succeeded in making Dubai a destination for the leading real estate development companies and the skilled workforce in the sector. This has created diversity and distinction in the sector, making it one of the most important economic pillars of Dubai’s economy. From the beginning, the Council worked on building partnerships with the private and government sectors to provide Emiratis with quality opportunities that allow them to build a distinguished professional path.”
“During my tour of the event and in my conversations with representatives of real estate companies and Emiratis, many opportunities emerged that await to be capitalized on by the national talents, especially since many of the real estate company owners we met are Emiratis who have achieved notable success stories. I invite Emiratis to explore the opportunities represented by the real estate sector and to benefit from these initiatives. We thank the Dubai Land Department and our partners from the private and government sectors for their role in making this initiative a success,” he added.
Ghannam Al Mazrouei, Secretary General of the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (ETCC) said: “The Real Estate Empowerment Programme is one of the significant specialized initiatives, as outlined in our memorandum of understanding signed last year with the Emirati Human Resources Development Council and the Dubai Land Department. This collaboration aligns with the directives of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of the ETCC’s Board of Directors. The ETCC is dedicated, through the “Nafis” programme, to fostering partnerships that support endeavors to achieve Emiratisation targets in this thriving sector.”
