Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) launched the Future Proofing Dubai’s
Workforce project under the theme Talent 2033 today in the presence of various representatives from
federal authorities, government bodies in Dubai, and key employers of organisations in the private sector.
These organisations operate in diverse sectors such as travel, logistics, tourism, information and
communications technology, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, healthcare,
education, and manufacturing.
The primary aim of the project is to establish Dubai as a global and competitive hub that fosters talent
empowerment and facilitates strategic workforce planning across both the government and private
sectors. The objective is to expedite the integration of 65,000 Emiratis into the private sector.
Simultaneously, the initiative seeks to digitise labour market forecasts, enhance productivity, and
implement automation through advanced analytics engines. Lastly, the project will focus on devising
capacity-building programs tailored for the future workforce. The Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce
project is structured into four main phases spanning a 12-month period. Even beyond the completion of
these main phases, specific initiatives and programs will continue in subsequent periods.
