7/29/25, 9:35 AM Emirati Human Resources Development Council, Azizi Developments ink MoU to boost Emiratization
The agreement establishes a robust framework for public-private cooperation, aimed at empowering
Emirati talent by providing quality employment opportunities and equipping them with specialised
training to succeed in the real estate development sector - one of Dubai’s key economic drivers.

Grounded in three core pillars, the agreement emphasizes creating employment opportunities within

Azizi’s developments, introducing training initiatives to enhance the skills of national talent, and enabling
direct knowledge transfer from the company’s experts to Emirati employees. Moreover, it seeks to close
the gap between academic qualifications and labour market needs in the real estate sector.

The partnership supports the goals of Dubai Economic Agenda D33, focused on enhancing the

competitiveness of the business landscape, and aligns with the objectives of UAE Centennial 2071
which strives to build a sustainable, knowledge-driven economy. It also highlights the mutual dedication
of both parties toward advancing Emiratisation efforts in the private sector and empowering national
talent.

His Excellency Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR Department and Deputy

Chairman of EHRDC, highlighted that the MoU reflects the effective collaboration between public and
private sectors in advancing Emiratisation goals. H.E. also pointed out that the real estate sector holds
significant potential for engaging Emirati professionals.

H.E. added: “This agreement marks a pivotal moment in our mission to enhance the contribution of

Emirati talent within the real estate sector, a vital pillar of the nation’s economy. The collaboration holds
special importance owing to Azizi Development’s role as a strategic partner, supported by its extensive
experience in real estate development and its portfolio of iconic projects that are key to Dubai’s urban
landscape. Through this partnership, ambitious Emiratis will gain access to valuable hands-on
experience and advanced skills through comprehensive training programs aligned with international

standards, alongside employment opportunities in major developments. This will enhance their
preparedness and competitiveness, enabling them to play a meaningful role in driving the sector’s
growth.”

Mr. Mirwais Azizi, Founder & Chairman of Azizi Developments said: “We are proud to partner with the

Dubai Government Human Resources Department to invest in Emirati talent. At Azizi we see the hiring,
training, and empowering of our Emirati employees not only as a business imperative, but also as a
shared responsibility to build a better future in this wonderful country. I look forward to collaborating
closely with DGHR and the Government of Dubai towards building a stronger pool of professional

Emirati talent. Sustainable growth starts with people.”

Abdulaziz Al Falahi, the Emiratization Recruitment Superintendent of the EHRDC, stated: “We are
collaborating closely with private sector partners to build an attractive and supportive workplace for UAE
nationals. By enhancing their skills and empowering them to play an active role in key industries,

particularly real estate, we are making a strategic investment in the future of our economy.”
