The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has embarked on the implementation of the Cabinet Decision, extending the reach of Emiratisation objectives to a wider range of companies. This entails that over 12,000 companies, employing 20-49 individuals, must now strive to employ at least one UAE citizen in 2024 and another in 2025. The Ministry has promptly notified these companies through its digital platform, granting them ample time to fulfill their prescribed targets. The companies encompass a diverse spectrum of 14 vital economic sectors, each brimming with opportunities and poised for growth. These sectors include information and communications, finance and insurance, real estate, professional and technical activities, administrative and support services, education, healthcare and social work, arts and entertainment, mining and quarrying, transformative industries, construction, wholesale and retail, transportation and warehousing, and accommodation and hospitality. Together, they hold immense potential to generate employment and foster an environment conducive to fruitful careers. MoHRE issued a statement, calling on companies subject to the decision to “quickly meet their Emiratisation targets and avoid delaying it until the end of the year.” The Ministry emphasised, “It is crucial that targeted companies register to the Nafis platform in order to benefit from the support the programme provides in terms of supplying the private sector with qualified Emirati professionals capable of efficiently working in various targeted economic sectors, along with other advantages they can benefit from.”
