ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Aldar announced on Monday that it has sponsored 1,000 UAE nationals to gain real estate agent accreditation across Abu Dhabi and Dubai and upskilled over 100 individuals through an advanced training programme.
The programme brought together a blend of local and international real estate expertise, with Aldar’s UAE team collaborating closely with experts from SODIC and London Square. Participants received in-depth training on Aldar’s global portfolio, sales strategies to unlock cross-selling opportunities, alongside a thorough understanding of UAE real estate regulations. Specialised system training was also provided to ensure participants’ seamless integration within Aldar’s digital-first ecosystem.
Commenting on the initiative, Bayan Al Hosani, Chief People and Communications Officer at Aldar, said: “Investing in local talent has always been a priority for us at Aldar. As the UAE real estate sector continues to flourish, it is essential that we invest in the development of Emirati real estate agents, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and credentials needed to excel, ensuring the market’s sustained growth."
The training programme complements Aldar’s existing partnership with Dubai Land Department and aligns with the company’s recently unveiled strategy to enhance customer experience through a hospitality-oriented mindset. It also aligns with the establishment of Aldar’s in-house customer experience academy, which will train more than 30,000 direct and indirect Aldar employees from Q1 2025 onwards.
The real estate agent training programme underscores Aldar’s commitment to developing the next generation of skilled local talent in the private sector, including within its highly skilled brokerage network. The announcement is in line with Aldar’s ongoing commitment to upskilling UAE nationals and follows the company’s accelerated achievement of its five-year Emiratisation target to create 1,000 jobs for UAE nationals. Aldar has hired 1,060 Emiratis in just three years ranging from fresh graduate to executive management level positions.
