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.
His Excellency Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, said: “At DGHR,
we place utmost priority on fostering collaboration and alliances with key stakeholders within the
Emirate. This initiative reflects our vision to bolster Dubai’s future plans by leveraging exceptional
talents, brilliant minds, and globally competitive expertise. It aligns seamlessly with Dubai’s strategic
vision for 2033, including the ambitious Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which seeks to double the
size of Dubai’s economy over the next ten years. Additionally, it is in line with the Dubai 2024 Urban
Master Plan, which prioritises the implementation of The UAE Net Zero by 2050. We are also
confident that this project will yield a positive impact on the human element in Dubai and the UAE.
Moreover, we eagerly anticipate expanding our collaborative efforts with strategic partners in
