Ru’ya 2025 introduces Pod exhibitors to open new career pathways

for Emirati talent

Ru’ya, Careers UAE 2025, is set to open its doors at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 23 to 25, bringing together more than
180 organisations committed to supporting Emirati talent in navigating a fast-evolving job market.

For the first time, the event will feature Pod exhibitors – 14 compact 2m x 2m counters designed to connect Emiratis with recruiters in
specialised sectors such as engineering, healthcare, education, insurance, and digital services. Companies including AI 71, Liva Insurance,
Buro Happold, Khansaheb Civil Engineering, MedNet Global Healthcare Solutions, Munich Re, and Taaleem are among those taking part in
this new format.
The addition of Pod exhibitors highlights the growing engagement of leading businesses with the UAE’s national talent agenda, offering young
Emiratis direct access to career opportunities in high-demand industries.

Alongside the Pods, Ru’ya 2025 also welcomes several major first-time exhibitors. Emirates Flight Catering, Aldar Properties, Al Tayer Group,
Dubai Academic Health Corporation, and Adidas will showcase structured graduate programmes, management trainee initiatives, and on-the-
job training opportunities.

Meshal Almarzooqi, AVP – National Talent & Government Affairs at Emirates Flight Catering, said:
“We firmly believe that Emirati talents have the potential to shape the future of our industry. At Ru’ya 2025, we aim to highlight our Graduate
Trainee, Management Trainee, and Apprenticeship programmes, as well as success stories of Emiratis who have advanced into leadership
roles. Our focus remains on structured development, strategic partnerships, and meaningful career pathways to enable nationals to drive the
future of aviation and catering services.”

With thousands of Emirati students, graduates, and professionals expected to attend, the exhibition will also feature workshops, panels, and
competitions designed to equip participants with future-ready skills. The introduction of Pod exhibitors reflects Ru’ya’s role in diversifying
career access and supporting the UAE’s Emiratisation goals, including achieving 8% private sector participation by the end of 2025.

Ru’ya 2025 is supported by its sponsors: DP World as Platinum Sponsor, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) as Gold Sponsor, and Emirates
National Oil Company (ENOC) as Silver Sponsor.
