DUBAI, 7th March, 2024 (WAM) -- 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 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."
