Dubai continues to open doors for skilled professionals and expats across key sectors like healthcare, technology, infrastructure, and education, driven by bold investments in emerging industries and skills development. While priority is generally given to UAE nationals for government positions, several Dubai government entities are now opening opportunities for skilled expats.
With the majority of expatriates are employed in the private sector, government jobs remain highly attractive due to their stability, competitive salaries, and generous benefits.
