Two Weeks of Dubai Amnesty: 4,000 Job Interviews Conducted

Integrating employment opportunities into this initiative is an important step towards increasing social cohesion and supporting the economic development of individuals, contributing to a more prosperous and stable society.

GDRFA Dubai said it maintains a high degree of flexibility in implementing the initiative, allowing it to deliver innovative solutions that align with community integration goals.

As many as 22 companies have pledged to support the campaign and contribute to its goals, while 80 more have expressed their willingness to join the initiative in the future. This growing support from companies underlines their willingness to participate in the UAE-led humanitarian initiatives, confirming their commitment to helping people regularize their status and live and work with dignity. This commitment stems from their social responsibility and desire to contribute to greater community stability.

Lieutenant General Mohamed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of GDRFA Dubai, said there has been a noticeable increase in the number of companies interested in joining the initiative, further expanding the opportunities for collaboration between the public and private sectors to achieve the project’s objectives.

Lieutenant General Al Marri said: “The criteria for selecting individuals include educational qualifications, work experience, personal skills and professional certificates, if available, as well as passing interviews and tests set by the companies.”

Major General Salah Al Qamzi, Deputy Director General of the Dubai Violators of Independence and Foreigners Sector, highlighted the inspiring success stories that have emerged from the initiative, emphasising that these stories are proof of the administration’s commitment to providing a supportive and inspiring environment for the residents of Dubai.

He said, “Each success story is a testament to our ongoing efforts to support individuals through training and development programs designed to provide stability for new hires and equip them to achieve career success.”

These efforts are distinguished by their flexibility in offering a wide range of job opportunities that extend beyond traditional sectors, maximizing the chances of as many people as possible taking advantage of them. Fields of employment include construction, transportation and logistics services, domestic work, manufacturing, and restaurants, broadening the range of available opportunities for job seekers.

Participating companies commit to providing a comprehensive benefits package, such as competitive wages, health insurance, housing and paid time off, as well as training and professional development programs that enhance employee skills. In addition, some companies adopt additional support initiatives, including mentoring and counseling programs, financial support in certain situations and educational expenses for employees’ children, aimed at creating a stable and sustainable work environment.

In support of its ongoing efforts to enhance economic and social stability, GDRFA Dubai continues to expand its network of partnerships with the private sector, with the aim of increasing employment opportunities and creating an integrated environment that brings together different sectors. The initiative has been a remarkable success, with a 100 percent satisfaction rate among those who have been employed, reflecting its ability to effectively meet the needs of beneficiaries and improve their quality of life.

GDRFA Dubai urges all those wishing to legalise their status to take advantage of the available opportunities before the designated period of the initiative expires.
