|June 09, 2026
When Obaid Al Habsi arrived at the Industrialists Career Exhibition in Abu Dhabi on Monday morning, he carried with him more than just copies of his CV. The 25-year-old Emirati had travelled from Ras Al Khaimah in search of something he has spent the past five years looking for: His first job.
“I came hoping to find a vacancy that suits my needs and the requirements of the workplace,” said Al Habsi, who uses a wheelchair and has lived with a physical disability since birth. After graduating from high school in 2021, he spent years applying for jobs, attending recruitment events and taking courses while waiting for an opportunity.
