By OneArabia

The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has officially launched the
Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce project, themed Talent 2033. This initiative was unveiled in
the presence of esteemed representatives from federal authorities, various government bodies
in Dubai, and leading employers from the private sector. These sectors include travel, logistics,
tourism, ICT, real estate, trade, finance, insurance, healthcare, education, and manufacturing.
The project's primary goal is to position Dubai as a leading global hub for talent empowerment
and strategic workforce planning across both government and private sectors.

The ambitious project aims to integrate 65,000 Emiratis into the private sector while digitising
labour market forecasts to boost productivity and implement automation through advanced
analytics engines. Additionally, it will focus on creating capacity-building programs designed for
the future workforce. Spanning a 12-month period, the Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce
project is divided into four main phases, with specific initiatives and programs set to continue
beyond these stages.

His Excellency Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, emphasized the
importance of collaboration and alliances within the Emirate. He highlighted that this initiative is
in line with Dubai’s strategic vision for 2033 and the ambitious Dubai Economic Agenda D33
aimed at doubling the size of Dubai’s economy over the next decade. It also supports the Dubai
2024 Urban Master Plan and The UAE Net Zero by 2050 initiative.
