The Emirati Human Resources Development Council in Dubai has signed a Memorandum of Understanding

(MoU) with the American University in Dubai (AUD) to empower 5,000 Emirati students over the next five
years with digital skills and essential tools, enhancing their readiness to join leading global technology
companies. The initiative also aims to develop their capabilities to contribute to advancing innovation in future
technologies and the UAE’s digital transformation.

The partnership aims to empower national talent through the 5,000 Digital Talents initiative, launched last

year by the Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications Office in partnership with
the Emirati Human Resources Development Council in Dubai, in line with the directives of H.H. Sheikh
Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister

of Defence of the UAE, Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, and Chairman of the Higher Committee
for Future Technology and Digital Economy. The partnership serves as an extension of the UAE
government’s efforts to build a sustainable digital economy that prioritises knowledge, technological

innovation, and academic excellence, while also enhancing the national human capital.
