The Dubai Land Department is targeting over 400 employment opportunities for Emiratis to find jobs within the real estate sector, with opportunities to conduct on-the-spot interviews.
In its fourth edition of the ‘Real Estate Day for Emirati Employment’, intended to expand employment opportunities in the real estate sector for UAE nationals, DLD is planning to add 400 more employment opportunities in addition to the 2,100 it deployed in three years.
“DLD is playing a big role in supporting the real estate sector and putting all strategic partners together on the academic side and the business side and bringing the best opportunities to Emiratis,” Majid Saqr Al Marri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at Dubai Land Department, told Khaleej Times.
Between 2023 and 2026, DLD’s initiatives helped create more than 2,100 employment opportunities for Emiratis with the help of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (Nafis), and the Emirati Human Resources Development Council in Dubai.
