‘Talent 2033’ Project Drives Strategic Workforce

Development To Realize Dubai’s D33 Economic

Vision

The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has reinforced its commitment to
the ‘Talent 2033’ Project, a transformative initiative launched in March 2024. This project aims to
elevate Dubai’s workforce capabilities and establish the emirate as a global hub for talent and

innovation. It is a key pillar in achieving the ambitious goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33,
which targets doubling Dubai’s economy and attracting world-class talent by 2033.

Strategic Objectives Of Talent 2033

The ‘Talent 2033’ Project outlines several priorities to redefine Dubai’s workforce:

Enhancing Skilled Workforce: The initiative seeks to double the proportion of highly skilled
professionals, ensuring two-thirds of Dubai’s workforce comprises top talent by 2033.
Gender Inclusion: Aiming for a 50% increase in female workforce participation to promote diversity
and inclusivity.
Integration of Emirati Talent: Plans to integrate 65,000 Emiratis into the private sector and project
150,000 Emiratis in private-sector roles by 2033, accounting for 70% of the total.
Data-Driven Workforce Planning: Development of advanced analytical tools to support public and
private organizations in strategic workforce planning.
Global Talent Retention: Establishing talent corridors and nurturing home-grown talent to address
market demands.
Alignment With D33 Vision

The project represents a shift towards a productivity-driven economic model, with 50% of Dubai’s
growth forecast to arise from productivity enhancements rather than labor-driven expansion. It also
focuses on leveraging technology across key sectors to support Dubai’s transition to a globally

competitive knowledge economy.

Leadership Vision

His Excellency Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, stated:“The ‘Talent 2033’
Project is pivotal in achieving sustainable development goals and boosting workforce efficiency in
Dubai. It aligns seamlessly with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, positioning the emirate as a global
talent hub. By fostering innovative strategic programs and nurturing unique capabilities, we aim to

address future labor market needs and enhance productivity.”
