The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED), and the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), have joined forces to launch a strategic initiative aimed at empowering Emirati real estate agents in the Al Ain region.
This pioneering initiative will provide comprehensive training and certification to 300 Emiratis from the Al Ain region to emerge as licensed real estate agents.
Under the MoU, ADREC will facilitate the enrolment of Emirati talents into accredited training programs delivered by leading institutions. After successful completion, participants will get the licenses required to operate as real estate agents, helping them drive success in a competitive industry.
ADDED is committed to driving the socio-economic growth in the Al Ain region and across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Through cutting-edge initiatives such as the Al Ain Economic Development Program, ADDED contributes to the growth of private sector while focusing on sustainable development and flourishing employment opportunities for Emiratis.
This collaboration with ADREC highlights ADDED’s dedication to strengthening its partnership with the private sector to recruit and empower Emirati talent. It also marks a key milestone in ADREC’s strategy to enhance the local real estate sector by integrating Emirati professionals.
His Excellency Badr Al-Olama Acting Director-General of Economic Affairs – ADDED
“ADDED is deeply committed to empowering Emirati talent and driving sustainable economic growth in Al Ain, with the real estate sector serving as a critical component of this objective. Our partnership with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre goes beyond training — it is an investment in the potential of Emirati professionals, enabling them to lead a dynamic sector, bolster investor confidence and play a pivotal role in advancing diversification and bolstering the resilience of Abu Dhabi’s economy.”
Eng. Rashed Al Omaira, Acting Director General of ADREC, added that, “At ADREC, we are dedicated to elevating the real estate sector by equipping Emirati talent with the skills and opportunities necessary to thrive. This partnership with ADDED reflects our dedication to building a resilient and sustainable market that aligns with Abu Dhabi’s vision of empowering Emiratis and driving economic growth. By nurturing well-trained and licensed brokers, we are not only creating local employment but also ensuring the highest standards of professionalism and transparency in the real estate market.”
This comes as part of ADREC’s ongoing efforts to transform the real estate market into a globally competitive and inclusive sector. ADREC has recently entered into a collaboration with Dubai Land Department (DLD), which saw the graduation of 500 Emirati brokers from an accredited program.
Together, these efforts highlight ADREC’s leadership in aligning the real estate sector with Abu Dhabi’s aspirations for a sustainable and diversified economy, while strengthening the role of Emiratis in shaping the industry’s future.
