Eng. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Emirati Human Resources
Development Council, commented: "Our partnership with Jafza marks a significant step
toward expanding career pathways for Emiratis in vital industries such as logistics and
trade. By leveraging DP World and Jafza's extensive expertise and resources, we aim to
create tailored development programmes that equip UAE nationals with the skills and
knowledge needed for long-term success."
Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & Managing Director, DP World GCC, said: "At DP World,
developing local talent is at the heart of our strategy. With Jafza being a key economic
engine for Dubai and one of the most prominent free zones globally, this MoU will open
the doors to new opportunities for UAE nationals . This collaboration underscores our
dedication to developing a competitive Emirati workforce, further solidifying the UAE's
position as a global trade and logistics hub."
Jafza is home to more than 10,700 companies, including over 100 Fortune 500 companies,
creating a vibrant and diverse ecosystem that offers Emiratis a unique opportunity to
engage with a wide array of industries and sectors. From logistics and trade to cutting-
edge technology and sustainability, Jafza serves as an ideal incubator for talent, making it
a prime environment for Emiratis to explore and grow their careers.
As part of the MoU, EHRDC will also ensure that Emiratis hired by companies in Jafza
benefit from 'NAFIS,' the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Programme, by integrating them
into its initiatives and incentives.
