9/24/25, 11:37 AM Dubai's Ru’ya 2025 opens doors to Emirati talent as employers commit to long-term careers

A gateway for job seekers
For job seekers, the event is more than a showcase of vacancies, it is a lifeline. Ibrahim Almarzoqi, 37, a UAEU graduate, said Ru’ya gives him a chance to realign
his career. “I’ve worked in another field for 11 years, but my degree is in administration. Events like this make it easier to finally align my experience with my
studies,” he explained.

Similarly, Fatima Alameri, 24, who graduated in business administration last year, described Ru’ya as “an eye-opener.” She added: “There are so many companies
here that I wouldn’t normally approach on my own. It gives us direct access to decision-makers, and it makes me more confident about my future.”

From jobs to careers
This year, employers across industries used the platform to emphasise that Emiratisation is no longer about filling quotas. Luxury retail group Chalhoub, for
instance, is hiring across all levels but is investing heavily in retention. “We make sure Emiratis are engaged and equipped with the right tools to become the stars of
tomorrow,” said Nasser Alblooshi, Chalhoub Group’s Managing Director.
