Dubai, UAE, 25 September 2026: The Emirates Group will return to Ru'ya Careers UAE, taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre from 28 to 30 September.
From students and graduates to early-career professionals and experienced talent considering a career transition, Emiratis can explore a wide range of roles and development programmes, including:
- National Cadet Pilot Programme
- Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Licence (AMEL) Programme
- IT Graduate Programme
- Khatwaty High School Graduate Programme
- Cabin Crew
- Graduate Programme
- Outstation Programme
- Experienced Professionals
- Internships
These opportunities span Emirates airline and dnata, with career paths across flight operations, engineering, airport services, cargo, technology, data, commercial, customer experience and corporate functions. As the UAE's aviation sector expands, which includes the ongoing development of Al Maktoum International Airport and the continued growth of Emirates and dnata, young Emirati professionals will be able to pursue a broader range of careers than those traditionally associated with aviation.
Yousuf bin Lahej, Vice President, Emiratisation and Government Relations at the Emirates Group commented: "For the Emirates Group, Emiratisation is about giving UAE Nationals the opportunity to build meaningful careers, take pride in contributing to an organisation that connects Dubai and the UAE with the world, and play a role in the nation's continued growth and ambition. The Group takes a long-term approach, engaging Emiratis well before they consider applying through career fairs, school visits and open days. Whether someone is just starting to explore their options, entering the workforce as a graduate, or looking for their next move as an experienced professional, these initiatives help them discover the breadth of careers across the Group.
We want Emiratis to feel supported from the moment they join us and throughout their development. We're proud to return to Ru'ya Careers UAE and look forward to another successful event."
By combining meaningful opportunities, continuous development and the right support, the Emirates Group aims to create an environment where Emirati talent can succeed, take on greater responsibility and build rewarding, long-term careers. Emiratis can further build globally relevant skills through new challenges, exposure to experienced colleagues and world-class training at the Group.
The Emirates Group invites Emiratis and their families to visit its stand at Ru'ya Careers UAE to meet the team, explore the available opportunities and find the right career that allows them to contribute to the UAE's growth and ambitions as a nation.
