As more companies in the UAE adopt AI automation and digital tools, tasks traditionally handled by interns or junior executives are now being performed by platforms like ChatGPT and AI chatbots.

Functions like:

• Basic content creation.
• Customer service responses.
• Market research summaries.
• Scheduling and admin support.

are often automated, reducing demand for entry-level employees in the UAE job market.

But this shift also unlocks new roles in AI training, data analysis, and tech management—if graduates know where to look.

Young graduates who previously entered companies through junior administrative or marketing roles may now face higher competition or see those jobs vanish altogether.

This has led to :

• Delayed career starts.
• Skill mismatches.
• The need for AI adaptability and upskilling.

Graduates are now expected to come equipped with digital literacy, analytical thinking, and familiarity with AI-assisted workflows.

Rather than viewing AI as a threat, graduates should be guided to re-skill and re-focus. Career planning in the UAE now requires:

• Awareness of future job trends.
• Proactive learning in AI, tech, and data roles.
• Realignment toward industries where human insight is irreplaceable.

This is where career guidance, business consultancy, and professional planning services come into play.
