The recent survey results give a vivid insight into the job market in 2025, bringing to light both opportunities and challenges faced by UAE National professionals as well as private-sector organisations. Methodology The guide has been compiled using data gathered from 2,450 survey responses. MoHRE and TASC Group conducted two surveys in February and March 2025 with UAE National candidates and employees who are representative of the population across all seven Emirates and private-sector employers across a diverse set of industries to gain insight into the impact of Emiratisation on businesses in the region. The insights derived give a comprehensive overview of the UAE labour market landscape in 2025 – offering an accurate picture that considers various perspectives. Conclusion This guide serves as a practical and strategic resource for employers and UAE National job seekers alike. It brings together the most recent updates, policies, and success stories to offer a comprehensive understanding of the Emiratisation landscape as it stands in 2025. With clear steps, eligibility criteria, and insights into national workforce programmes, the guide aims to empower businesses to meet their targets efficiently while enabling Emiratis to explore meaningful career opportunities in the private sector. We hope it continues to support national efforts to enhance Emirati participation across key industries, and contributes toward the UAE’s long-term vision for a balanced, inclusive, and future-ready workforce.
