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
government and private sectors, driving the advancement of our strategies and
programs, and establishing new benchmarks for government efficiency.”

In the preparations for the launch of this project, delegation from DGHR headed by H.E.
Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, conducted a series of visits
to key government and private entities.

The visits revolved around discussions aimed at fostering collaboration and joint efforts
within the scope of the Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce project. DGHR initiated this
project with the primary aim of envisioning the future of Dubai’s workforce in response
to dynamic changes in the job market.

This project holds considerable strategic importance as it places emphasis on
deepening the understanding of job market and trends, as well as both current and
future skills essential for human capital. This ambitious vision places a priority on
enhancing the global competitive edge of the workforce. It involves developing a

comprehensive strategic map that facilitates the integration of Emirati nationals into the
private sector, encourages the active participation of UAE nationals in both the
government and private sectors, and positions Dubai as a hub for talents and experts.
