UAE TALENT MARKET

Where UAE Residents & Emirati Nationals Train for Global Clinical Research Careers.

The UAE is rapidly emerging as a leading clinical trial destination in the Middle East. With new federal clinical trial legislation, the R&D tax incentive effective 1 January 2026, and sustained life-sciences investment across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the Northern Emirates, the country needs qualified clinical research professionals — CRAs, CRCs, and Regulatory Affairs specialists — from both the Emirati and wider UAE-resident talent pool.

GLOBALCORE™ is the UAE-based training institute purpose-built to deliver CPD-certified careers in clinical research — preparing students, career-changers, and experienced professionals for roles that count toward MOHRE Emiratization targets and ICV (In-Country Value) scoring for the companies that employ them.

165 CPD

Total across five certification tracks: CRA, CRC, RA Global, RA GCC, and RA Africa.

10%

MOHRE Emiratization target for skilled roles at private companies with 50+ employees, effective January 2026.

FOR EMPLOYERS

Turn Emiratization Targets into a Competitive Advantage.

Under MOHRE Cabinet Resolution No. 18 of 2022 and subsequent ministerial decisions, private-sector companies in the UAE with 50 or more employees must maintain Emiratis in at least 10% of skilled positions as of January 2026. Penalties run up to AED 9,000 per month (AED 108,000 annually) per unfilled Emirati position. For companies bidding on UAE government and semi-government contracts, Emiratization is one of five pillars in the In-Country Value (ICV) scoring framework — the number and seniority of Emirati employees directly affects your ICV certificate score.
▣

Build a compliant, inspection-ready team

Hire Emiratis already trained to ICH-GCP and international regulatory standards — reducing onboarding time and protecting audit readiness from day one.
▣

Improve your ICV certificate score

Direct Emirati hiring into skilled clinical research roles strengthens your ICV scoring — a prerequisite for contracting with ADNOC, Aldar, and the broader UAE government procurement ecosystem.
▣

Meet MOHRE targets without compromising quality

Partner with GLOBALCORE to sponsor cohorts of Emirati and UAE-resident trainees, secure them on CPD-certified career tracks, and onboard them into skilled CRA/CRC/RA roles that satisfy MOHRE’s skilled-workforce definition.
