Dubai, UAE, 25 September 2024:

The Dubai Government Human Resources (DGHR) Department is participating in the 23rd edition of the Ru’ya Careers UAE 2024, which is being organised from September 24 to 26, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Being held under the theme ‘[YOU]th Can,’ the event focusses on empowering the youth to reach newer heights of innovation and creativity, while supporting the UAE’s job market and reinforcing Emiratisation goals.

DGHR is participating in the event as its official government sponsor, aligning with the goals of participating organisations on Dubai Government’s platform, with emphasis on Emirati Human Resources Development Council. As part of its strategic plan, the Council offers awareness workshops to enhance the skills and competencies of students from grade nine onwards. The Council further offers counselling sessions, career development courses and vocational training programs.

The event’s theme enhances future career prospects for graduates within the private sector, especially in critical and strategic fields. This enables them to acquire requisite skills and experiences for future jobs. It further provides graduates and job seekers with an opportunity to identify their vocational interests through the integration of AI in the recently launched ‘Future Vision Navigator’ initiative.

H.E. Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR Department, reaffirmed the Department’s commitment to supporting fairs and events that offer comprehensive employment opportunities for young Emiratis. Ru’ya 2024 is one of the leading initiatives in which DGHR participates as a primary supporter and supervisor of the Dubai Government Platform. This support is based on the belief in the significance of supporting Dubai’s future vision through innovative talents, creative intellects and globally competitive experience, while ensuring the preparedness of Emirati human resources for the future. This commitment is in line with ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision, which is aimed at positioning the UAE as one of the top 10 countries in attracting and retaining talent.

H.E. said, “Ru’ya 2024 serves as a vital bridge that connects students and fresh graduates to a wide range of prominent government and private organisations in various specialisations that meet the future requirements of the UAE’s job market. It is an ideal platform to promote the integration of young and empowered national talents into the workforce, who possess unique and specialised knowledge and scientific skills. Such capabilities have the potential to enhance and elevate their presence in both the public and private sectors, amid the rapid development of the country’s knowledge-based economy”

H.E. added: “Such national career fair events are vital for encouraging Emirati university students as it helps them embark on their desired professional journey, advance their career growth, as well as enable them to forge meaningful connections with several enterprises across both public and private sectors in various fields. This will eventually contribute to achieving the Emiratisation goals and targets.
