The reputable job fair “ Ru’ya” 2023, served as a collaborative platform for government and industry leaders, such as Al Rostamani Group, to discuss meaningful strategies to amplify Emirati representation in the private sector.

The ‘Ru’ya 2023 – Careers UAE Redefined’, a 3-day event which concluded at the Dubai World Trade Centre on Thursday, highlighted an array of career possibilities, attracting a diverse audience, from high school diploma holders to specialised professionals, underlining the depth and breadth of opportunities available to Emiratis in the modern workforce.

The 22nd Ru’ya fair featured more than 100 organisations offering opportunities to job seekers in both the public and private sectors. More than 15,000 Emirati job hunters are expected to attend the 3-day career fair, according to the organisers.

Al Rostamani Group had a major presence at the show and as the leading business conglomerate put forward a compelling case for the importance of integrating Emiratis into the private sector.

Senior government leaders driving the government’s Emiratisation strategy, such as  Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary-General of the Executive Council of Dubai (TEC), and  Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director-General of the Dubai Government Human Resources Department, visited the Al Rostamani Group stand.

There, Abdul Rahman Saqr, leading the Human Capital team, provided an in-depth overview of their strategic approach and hiring process for Emirati nationals. Al Rostamani team expressed their gratitude for the leaders’ personal support and the governmental endorsement of encouraging Emirati talent to engage in the private sector.
