Local UAE private sector firms appear to be the least desired option for both nationals and expatriates, the survey found.
ADNOC, Mubadala and Etisalat were voted the most popular employers among UAE national graduates.
GulfTalent's survey asked graduates about the factors that drove them to choose their preferred employer. The top three factors mentioned were the opportunity to do interesting and challenging work, the quality of the training and development programme, and the company's brand and reputation.
Interestingly, salary and benefits only ranked 4th in the key attraction factors.
However, the survey did find a significant gap in the expectations of graduates for their starting salary -- with salary expectations of Emirati graduate averaging Dh27,000 per month, compared with Dh9,000 for expatriate graduates.
Overseas experience is also highly valued by graduates. One in two graduates expressed interest in gaining experience working outside the UAE and were drawn to the employers that offered this opportunity.
According to the survey, the most popular country overall for graduates in the UAE to live and work in is the USA, followed by the UK and Canada - among both local and expatriate graduates.
