Dubai, UAE: The Dubai Government Human Resources (DGHR) Department concluded its participation in the 23rd edition of Ru'ya Careers UAE 2024. The event, held under the theme '[YOU]th Can,' at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 24 to 26, focused on empowering young Emiratis through innovation, creativity, and skill development. The event also supported the UAE's dynamic job market and reinforced the country’s Emiratisation objectives.

As the official Government sponsor of the event, DGHR focused on the Emirati Human Resources Development Council and aligned with the goals of the participating entities on the Dubai Government booth. The Council provided awareness workshops to students in grade nine and above as part of its strategic approach towards improving their skills and competencies, along with counselling sessions, career development courses, and vocational training programs.

H.E. Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR Department, said, "The exhibition provided an excellent opportunity for aspiring young Emiratis seeking employment opportunities to collaborate with both the public and private sectors. The event provided new knowledge opportunities to empower and support Emirati talents in honing their abilities and elevating their presence across critical sectors. This was made possible by the carefully curated agenda, projects, and initiatives presented by participating entities, all of which aimed to prepare them for future job prospects."

"This year's edition of the exhibition also stands out for its emphasis on the future needs of the job market. It underscored the significance of developing future skills that will be in demand, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence (AI), which is rapidly gaining prominence in various areas and sectors. Therefore, it is crucial for students, graduates, and even working professionals looking for new opportunities to improve their digital skills, experiences, and competencies – especially in the context of AI and other emerging fields. This will in turn allow them to contribute more significantly to the UAE's future objectives," H.E. Al Falasi added.

On the last day, H.E. Dr. Abdullah Saif Al-Sabousi, Secretary-General of the Dubai Judicial Council, Dr. Lowai Belhoul, Director General, Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department, H.E. Abdulla Jassem Kalban, Managing Director and CEO of Emirates Global Aluminium, and Abdulla bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director, DP World GCC, visited the Platform.
