8/14/24, 9:37 AM Dubai Government Human Resources Department launches a new form of Youth Council

H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, said: “The youth possess great energy

and innovative concepts that can pave the way for revolutionary changes in various fields, as they are
the drivers of innovation and change. Through launching a new form of the youth council, we at DGHR
aim to empower youth people and train them to become the leaders of the future and drivers to attaining
Dubai’s ambitious vision. We affirm our steadfast dedication to advancing the potential of young people
and promoting communication and collaboration with this vital segment. This comes in line with our

efforts to support the future goals of Dubai by including innovative talents, unique minds, and
internationally competitive experiences.”

“Omar Al Ansari, Chairman of the Youth Council, DGHR said: “The decision to reconfigure the youth
council and establish a new vision aligns with our dedication to meet the evolving requirements of the

youth and empowering and directing them towards attaining their maximum potential. This move
signifies a vital investment to ensure a better future for them by creating an encouraging environment to
showcase creativity and excellence and offering opportunities for growth, development, and innovation
to attain leadership qualities.”

The Youth Council's initiatives will focus on fostering young talent in Dubai and integrating them into
strategic human resources planning across different sectors. By leveraging the innovative visions and
creative ideas of the youth, it aims to strengthen the human capital framework within the public sector.

The new council operates through four core paths: Partnerships Pathway, Capacity Development
Pathway, Artificial Intelligence Pathway and Quality of Life Pathway. These pathways seek to strengthen

the department’s efforts by enhancing effective communication channels among different youth
councils, further empowering the youth to cultivate their skills and pursue their ambitions. This can be
achieved by leveraging latest technological innovations and advancements in AI to bolster and execute
innovative ideas, with a specific emphasis on programs and initiatives that promote mental and physical

wellness, as well as financial literacy.

Under the guidance of the Director General of the Department and Chairman of the Youth Council, the
administrative team will oversee the innovation and implementation of the new system. Their key
objective is to support and steer all pathways toward reaching the desired goals, in accordance with the
DGHR's strategy of enhancing human capital, particularly focusing on the younger generation. This can

be achieved by harnessing methods of empowerment, including the execution of projects and programs
aimed at fostering their technical and leadership skills, while also fulfilling the objectives of the UAE
Centenary Plan 2071, which aims to empower the Emirati youth.
