Mr. Abdul Baset Al Janahi, CEO of MBRE, said: "the MBRE has not only offered the UAE nationals jobs opportunities and leading positions at its premises, but has gone in translating the vision of our prudent leadership so far as to extend a helping hand to prepare university graduates to become business leaders through supporting and realizing their ideas. We guide them to the right way to achieve success in business and to take part in their country's development."

Emphasizing the MBRE's support for the national business leaders, Al Janahi said:
" By the end of 2008, the number of business leaders of small and medium enterprises joining the establishment was 790. These members are engaged in various economic activities, and many of them have managed to tap global markets and to establish international brands."

For his part, Mr. Ahmed Al Hashimi, Director of Human Resources, MBRE, stressed that Emiratisation is a top priority for the Establishment.

"Emiratisation rate at the MBRE has reached 64% . This percentage has hiked  to 100% in Marketing, Business Leaders Services, Government Procurement, Special Projects, Counseling and Development and Human Resources departments. Furthermore, job vacancies are still available at the Establishment and they will be filled by national cadres through the current year." Al Hashimi noted.

The MBRE has attracted local youth with vast experience to work in its different departments. It helps them to tap into further education and training opportunities to enhance their skills and to rise up the career ladder."
