6/13/25, 10:24 AM EHRDC, CDA sign MoU to enhance employment opportunities for Emiratis in Dubai | Emirates News Agency
Recourses and Deputy Chairman of the Emirati Human
Resources Development Council in Dubai and Hessa bint
Essa Buhumaid, Director-General of the Community
Development Authority.
Under this MoU, both entities will work together to support
Dubai’s broader strategy to empower national talent by
launching targeted programmes and initiatives, fostering
robust synergy among government entities and creating
inclusive job opportunities for Emiratis across all sectors.
Abdullah Al Falasi said, “The partnership underscores our
ongoing commitment to transforming the leadership’s
vision into impactful initiatives that directly benefit
Emiratis. It is a pivotal step towards activating institutional
partnerships that open new professional horizons for
Emiratis. We are also working to transform community
councils into vibrant hubs that connect job seekers with
potential employers, enabling talent discovery, matching
them with the right opportunities, promoting equal
opportunity, and improving the overall quality of
employment outcomes.
Buhumaid said, "The partnership marks a strategic step
toward enhancing institutional collaboration in community
empowerment and opening practical pathways to
opportunity, it stems from a firm belief that the individual is
both the heart and purpose of development, a principle
that aligns with Dubai’s vision of building a cohesive,
productive, and sustainable society. We are confident that
this collaboration will serve as a launchpad for impactful
initiatives that deliver tangible outcomes and meet the
aspirations of community members, ensuring their long-
term empowerment and well-being.”
The MoU aims to lay the foundation for deeper
collaboration between both parties to design and deliver
targeted programmes that support the integration of
Emiratis into the workforce. Through personalised career
guidance, specialised training, and tailored employment
pathways, we aim to equip national talent with the
requisite tools to thrive and succeed across various
sectors. The collaboration further aligns with CDA’s
empowerment strategy to improve citizens’ quality of life
and enhance their economic participation, in line with
Dubai’s long-term development vision.
This MoU exemplifies a leading model of effective
integration between government entities focused on
Emiratisation and community development. It echoes
Dubai’s commitment to building a responsive and forward-
looking employment ecosystem, in line with the objectives
of the ‘Dubai Social Agenda 33’ and the ‘Dubai Economic
Agenda D33,’ both of which emphasise increased Emirati
participation in economic development and strengthen job
market stability for them.
