Industry sources also further stated that this MoU displays 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.

The MoU aims to lay the foundation for deeper collaboration between both parties to design and deliver targeted
programs 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.

H.E. Abdullah bin Zayed Al Falasi, stated: “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.
H.E Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid from CDA, stated: “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.”
A key component of the partnership will involve organising employment days at neighbourhood councils. These
events aim to enhance community engagement and strengthen collaboration among relevant stakeholders by
enabling Emirati job seekers to explore roles aligned with their qualifications and meet prospective employers in
a supportive, opportunity-driven environment.
Additionally, the partnership will facilitate improved coordination between the parties through the sharing of
relevant data and the development of joint action plans. Together, EHRDC and CDA will provide targeted support
that addresses both the professional and personal needs of Emirati job seekers, in line with the CDA’s
empowerment strategy.
