Frequently asked questions

RETURNready is a Dubai-based platform that helps women return to work after a career break, through THE RETURN, an eight-week return-to-work programme, RETURNready LIVE speaker events, and a supportive community.

Any woman in the UAE who has taken a career break — whether for family, relocation, personal growth, or any other reason — and is ready to re-enter the workforce with confidence and clarity.

Through THE RETURN, an eight-week programme in two chapters: four weeks focused on you, your identity and your confidence, then four weeks with experts in HR, recruitment, personal branding and public speaking. RETURNready LIVE events and a community of women navigating the same journey support it.

RETURNready LIVE events are honest, guided conversations. Janine talks with a guest speaker who has lived the return, and an expert brings their perspective. The events are part of THE RETURN, and selected events are open to the public.

THE RETURN’s in-person sessions and RETURNready LIVE events are held in Dubai. Follow us on Instagram @returnready.ae or join our mailing list to be notified when new events go live.
