Dubai Municipality is committed to providing them with a supportive environment that fosters growth, develops their skills, and empowers them to enhance Dubai’s leadership and quality of life. Emiratisation is central to our strategy, and by investing in young professionals, we also invest in the sustainable knowledge-based economy of the UAE.”
