3/14/24, 2:06 PM The Real Estate Day for Emiratis Employment 2024 supports localisation efforts
The Real Estate Day for Emiratis Employment saw the active involvement of 53 real
estate firms, presenting more than 300 job openings across various domains within the

industry. The event garnered notable enthusiasm from citizens keen on entering the

workforce within the real estate sector, a pivotal economic domain in Dubai. This sector
significantly contributes to the local GDP and is witnessing substantial expansion,

underscoring the eagerness of Emiratis to partake in this vital economic arena.

His Excellency Engineer 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".

Her Excellency Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director General of Dubai’s Community

Development Authority, expressed her satisfaction with the Real Estate Day for Emiratis

Employment, noting the significant interest shown by citizens in the sector. She
highlighted the importance of the real estate industry to them. In her statement, she

mentioned that the Community Development Authority in Dubai invited job seekers with

high school diplomas or higher who have a Tamkeen file with CDA, to participate in the
day’s events. Additionally, stakeholders who meet the employment criteria set by Dubai

Land Department were involved, contributing to the event’s success. She expressed
eagerness for further collaboration with all entities in the emirate to continue supporting

citizen empowerment across various sectors.”
