Dubai: Emirati jobseekers will be able to explore a broad range of career opportunities with Emirates Group when the aviation company returns to Ru’ya Careers UAE at Dubai World Trade Centre from September 28 to 30.
The recruitment showcase will bring together opportunities across Emirates airline and dnata, covering roles from flight operations and aircraft engineering to technology, data, cargo, airport services and customer experience. The programme is aimed at Emirati students, graduates, early-career professionals and experienced workers.
Among the programmes being presented are the National Cadet Pilot Programme, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Licence (AMEL) Programme, IT Graduate Programme and Khatwaty High School Graduate Programme. Emirates Group is also highlighting cabin crew positions, internships, graduate opportunities and roles for experienced professionals.
Career options extend beyond airline operations
The opportunities reflect the growing range of skills required across the aviation industry.
For Emirati candidates interested in technology, the Emirates Group careers platform currently lists an IT Graduate Programme – Emiratisation, alongside technology, analytics, digital and other specialist positions. The careers portal also lists a National Graduate Training Programme and Khatwaty High School Graduates Programme for UAE Nationals.
The group has previously expanded its UAE National development programmes to include technology and other specialist areas. Its longer-term talent initiatives have included graduate training, scholarships, internships and professional development programmes.
That means prospective applicants do not have to limit their search to traditionally visible aviation jobs such as pilots or cabin crew. Technology, data, engineering, commercial functions and corporate roles are also part of the wider aviation employment ecosystem.
Ru’ya Careers UAE runs from September 28 to 30
Emirates Group’s presence at Ru’ya Careers UAE will be located at Zabeel Hall 3, Legacy Hall, Stand Z3-1 at Dubai World Trade Centre. The company said Emiratis and their families can meet recruitment teams during the three-day event.
The event comes as Emirates Group continues to develop its workforce while the wider Dubai aviation ecosystem expands. The group specifically pointed to the development of Al Maktoum International Airport and continued growth at Emirates and dnata as factors creating demand for a broader range of skills.
For graduates and students, the group already has established pathways linking education, training and employment. Emirates Aviation University said in January 2026 that it had graduated more than 26,500 students since its establishment and reported a 94% employability rate. The university also said the Emirates Group trained 130 EAU interns during 2025.
Focus on longer-term development
Emirates Group’s Emiratisation programmes are not limited to recruitment. The company has described its approach as including training, career development, internal opportunities and exposure to different areas of the business.
The group’s careers platform currently shows several Emiratisation opportunities in Dubai, including roles in engineering, IT, quality assurance, analytics and airport-related functions, alongside graduate and internship programmes. Available vacancies can change as recruitment progresses.
For candidates attending Ru’ya Careers UAE, the event therefore provides an opportunity to speak directly with Emirates Group recruitment teams and understand which programmes match their education, experience and career stage.
