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.
