through advanced analytics engines. Lastly, the project will focus on devising capacity-building
programmes 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 programmes will
continue in subsequent periods.

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
programmes, and establishing new benchmarks for government efficiency.”

In the preparations for the launch of this project, delegation from DGHR headed by 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.

Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce project plays a vital role in realising the strategic vision of His Highness
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to position

Dubai as a global hub for innovation and creativity. Through this initiative, DGHR aims to address the
