The Vision 2025 job fair opens today in Dubai, connecting UAE nationals with diverse career opportunities and skill development workshops. The event underscores the country's commitment to nationalization goals and youth empowerment.

The eagerly anticipated fourth edition of the Emirates Job Fair, themed "Vision," launches today at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Over the course of three days, more than 180 entities from both public and private sectors will come together to provide Emirati citizens with direct access to a rich array of exclusive employment opportunities, specialized workshops, and skill-building experiences meticulously designed to equip them for future labor market demands.
Continuing its pivotal role in the UAE's nationalization strategy and youth empowerment agenda, the "Vision" job fair aligns perfectly with national policy objectives. Among these is achieving an 8% workforce localization in the private sector by the end of 2025. As of June this year, there are already 125,000 Emiratis employed within this sector.
Reflecting on its success last year, when it attracted 150 exhibitors and facilitated over 7,000 on-the-spot interviews, this year's edition stands as a testament to its significant role as a premier platform for nurturing national talent. This effort is essential for building a robust workforce capable of leading tomorrow's challenges.
Attendees this year have an exceptional opportunity to engage directly with top employers such as Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Police General Headquarters, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Amazon, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Emirates Airline, and Majid Al Futtaim Group. The fair continues to strengthen its strategic partnerships across various governmental bodies.
Asma Al Shareef, Assistant Vice President for Sustainable Development and Exhibition Management at Dubai World Trade Centre expressed that launching another packed edition of Vision highlights their deep commitment to supporting Emirati talent on their journey toward shaping their own future. She emphasized how this national platform consistently grows in impact and strategic importance by presenting thousands of job openings while equipping citizens with comprehensive confidence-building tools along professional networks enabling them to excel.
