UAE … A Nation of Talent
The UAE has made remarkable progress in Emiratizing its private sector.
Making a huge increase in the number of Emirati nationals employed in private companies.
According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the private companies employing Emiratis number has surged from 19,000 in 2023 to over 27,000 by 2024.
Government-Led Initiatives Drive Change
These positive results are due to the concerted efforts of the UAE government.
Besides the efforts of Nafis Emiratization Competitiveness Council.
The government has successfully incentivized businesses to hire Emiratis and create a more inclusive workforce.
Through various initiatives and partnerships with private sector companies.
Nafis Program a Game-Changer
Nafis program, launched in September 2022, has played a pivotal role in connecting Emirati job seekers with suitable employment opportunities in the private sector.
Approximately 95,000 Emiratis have secured jobs through Nafis since its inception.
Strict Monitoring and Enforcement
To ensure the integrity of the Emiratization process, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has implemented robust monitoring systems.
Since mid-2022, over 2,000 companies have been found to be in violation of Emiratization regulations and have faced legal consequences.
These companies were found to engage in fraudulent practices.
Such as hiring Emiratis on paper without providing them with actual employment.
