DGHR Collaborates With MBRF And UNDP To

Equip Employees With Future-Ready Skills

The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has joined forces with the
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) to advance the ‘FutureSkills4All’ initiative. This initiative, launched
by MBRF and UNDP in collaboration with the educational platform Coursera, aims to empower Dubai

Government employees by providing access to top-tier training programs from industry leaders.

His Excellency Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, emphasized the
department’s dedication to strengthening its collaboration with MBRF and UNDP. He highlighted the
importance of coordinated efforts in achieving the mission to equip human resources with future-
oriented skills, thereby supporting Dubai’s vision of fostering innovative talent and promoting

sustainable development. H.E. Al Falasi explained that this strategic initiative offers educational
programs and innovative training methods to prepare Dubai’s government employees for the rapidly
changing work environments.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, expressed enthusiasm for the expanded reach of

the initiative and the reinforced partnership with DGHR. He stated, "This move is crucial for enhancing
the skills and competencies of Dubai Government employees, preparing them for the ever-evolving
labor market. Empowering individuals and enriching youth potential through exceptional educational
and training opportunities in collaboration with global organizations is vital for strengthening education

and comprehensive development, consolidating the UAE’s position as a global knowledge hub."

Dr. Hany Torky, Project Manager of UNDP's Knowledge Project, added, "Through this initiative, UNDP
collaborates with MBRF to provide knowledge and educational materials to the Arab community. Our
goal is to ensure that Dubai Government employees benefit from the exceptional courses offered. We

aim to facilitate widespread access to learning opportunities, empowering employees to advance their
careers and contribute to a brighter future."

The initiative offers free and exclusive educational materials and training programs from global
corporations such as Google, Meta, and IBM to Dubai Government professionals. It also provides
learning opportunities for recent graduates, job seekers, and seasoned professionals seeking to

enhance their digital expertise and adapt to evolving market demands. The initiative is designed for
talented innovators across diverse fields, helping them advance their careers and stay ahead in both
local and global job markets.
