It is possible to get employment in the UAE after finishing your training, but also after leaving the UAE, gaining employment elsewhere and building hours before applying for a job.
The flying school does not do instructor ratings, and even after gaining one you need 1000 hours instruction given to get a job. There are not really any jobs for low hour pilots in the UAE. Even Falcon Express requires 500-700 TT 300 Multi and a 1900 rating. Thats the absolute minimum requirements. Thats the lowest hour job available in the UAE, and even then most of the F/Os are hired with plenty of B1900 experience from elsewhere.
Unless this JAR program kicks off in Fujairah, no point in doing pro pilot studies in the UAE as your license will be no use anywhere other than the GCC, even if it is ICAO. Go abroad, get a JAR of FAA license, get a job then start applying to the UAE companies. Prob your best bet of getting a job there.
