paths through innovative and smart programs. We look forward to the private sector’s contribution
to attracting national talents to face future challenges.

Al Otaiba said: “Empowering Emirati talents is a core part of our vision and future strategy. We
continuously strive to enhance the presence of Emirati citizens in our workforce, and through our
companies and training programs, we aim to prepare a new generation of Emirati leaders who can
effectively contribute to achieving the economic and social development goals of the UAE. Our
meeting today with HE Abdullah Al Falasi represents an opportunity to strengthen collaboration
between the public and private sectors to support the national agenda in empowering and
developing Emirati citizens.”

The two parties also reviewed modern programs that contribute to reducing the job search journey,
including an AI-based program that helps job seekers explore and develop their talents and identify
their career paths. This advanced program, launched by the Dubai Government Human Resources
Department, aims to equip citizens with tools that enable them to improve their skills and
effectively integrate into the labour market, aligning with the needs of companies and institutions
within the country.

Al Otaiba also informed Al Falasi about MHAO Group’s efforts in supporting and empowering
national talents, as the group continues to offer various organized training programs aimed at
developing Emiratis across different job levels.

Among these programmes is Al Nukhba which is designed to take Emirati participants on a one-year
journey from management trainee to junior specialist, providing essential skills and hands-on
experience for career progression. Similarly, the Bidaya program enables Emiratis to transition from
junior specialist to junior manager over a year, with a focus on leadership and management
training. Furthermore, the Group has tailored an Al Nukhba development plan specifically for
People of Determination, reflecting its dedication to inclusivity and equal opportunities for all
Emiratis.
