United Arab Emirates
Emiratization-positive engagements with first-call NAFIS-eligible talent, ICV-accretive procurement, and an Academy intake at NYUAD, AUS and Khalifa University.
The UAE's federal regime is administered by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) and supported by the NAFIS programme. Mainland private-sector firms with 50+ employees are on a 2-percentage-point annual increase, with the federal target reaching 10% Emiratization in skilled roles by end of 2026. From 2024 the regime was extended to firms with 20–49 employees across 14 priority sectors. Non-compliance fines stand at AED 6,000 per Emirati shortfall per month, escalating AED 1,000 annually. Separately, the federal In-Country Value (ICV) programme — anchored by ADNOC and adopted across federal procurement — scores suppliers on Emirati employment, local spend and investment, and is now a tiebreaker in most public-sector awards.
