The Emirates Human Resources Development Council (EHRDC) has extended its partnership with Keolis

MHI, the operator and maintainer of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram, to provide high-quality training sessions
for university students and Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) students in Dubai. This initiative seeks to
equip students with practical skills and empower them to enter the job market with confidence and

competence. The collaboration aligns with EHRDC’s unwavering commitment to empowering and qualifying
Emirati talent while boosting their role in driving the country’s digital economy.

In 2024, Keolis MHI’s training program benefited 104 students, including 66 Emirati students. The program
offered training to students in various major fields to meet the evolving demands of the digital economy and
smart transport sector. Key disciplines covered by the program were electrical engineering, mechanical

engineering, industrial engineering, information technology, mechatronics, international relations, marketing
and communications, project management, computer science, network and systems administration, among
others.

His Excellency Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Deputy Chairman of EHRDC and Director-General of
the Dubai Government Human Resources Department, said: “At EHRDC, we strive to establish strong

strategic partnerships with private sector companies to create new opportunities for Emirati talent, further
contributing to the nation’s vision of fostering a sustainable, knowledge-based economy driven by national

expertise, technological innovation, and future industries”.
