The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is opening its doors to 1,300 skilled drivers this year, with plans to recruit even more in the coming years.
This is a great opportunity for Bangladeshis looking for exciting employment prospects in Dubai.
Bangladesh has a long history of supplying skilled workers to the UAE, with over 1.2 million Bangladeshis currently living and working there. These individuals play a vital role in the UAE’s construction, manufacturing, and service sectors, including transportation.
This new recruitment drive is a result of a meeting between Bangladesh’s Minister of State for Expatriate Welfare and Overseas Employment, Shafiqur Rehman Chaudhary, and the Emirati Ambassador to Dhaka, Abdullah Ali Al Hammoudi.
Minister Chaudhary highlighted a productive meeting with Dubai Taxi Corporation, which has already begun recruiting qualified drivers.
Here’s a breakdown of the exciting opportunities:
- 1,300 Driver Positions Available in 2024: This includes 1,000 motorcycle driver spots and 300 taxi driver positions.
- Growth Projected for Future Years: The UAE plans to increase recruitment to at least 2,000 taxi and motorcycle drivers annually from 2025 onwards.
- Skilled Workers in Demand: Since 2013, the UAE has focused on recruiting skilled Bangladeshi workers, ensuring a strong fit for these in-demand positions.
This is a fantastic chance for Bangladeshi drivers to gain valuable experience in a dynamic and international city like Dubai.
