(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Dubai, UAE, 20 November 2024,
The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) intensifies its efforts to
advance the ‘Talent 2033’ Project, a strategic initiative aimed at building a roadmap to

strategically elevate Dubai’s workforce and solidify the emirate’s position as a globally
competitive hub for talent and innovation. Launched in March 2024, the project aligns with the

ambitious Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33,’ which aims to double the economy and attract top
global talent over the next decade.

The ‘Talent 2033’ project is focused on several key objectives, including significantly

increasing the proportion of highly skilled professionals, with the aim of doubling their share to
make up two-thirds of Dubai’s workforce by 2033, in line with the ambition to leverage

technology across key sectors. This represents a strategic shift from primarily labour-driven
growth to a model where 50 per cent of growth is productivity-led. Additionally, the initiative

seeks to increase the participation of women in the workforce by 50 per cent and expand the
talent pool by opening talent corridors for key occupations and focus on home-grown talent to
address social and practical needs. It also seeks to develop strategic programs that will

enhance the future capabilities and competencies of talent, regardless of nationality.

Another critical goal is to create advanced analytical tools to bolster the analytical capabilities
of both public and private sector organisations, as well as government entities, substantially

aiding efforts to achieve the initiative’s diverse objectives. In addition to facilitating the
retention and nurturing of global talent in both sectors, the project also aims to accelerate the

integration of 65,000 Emiratis into the private sector, supporting the transformation efforts
within Dubai’s talent sector. These efforts are expected to boost participation of locals in the
private sector, with projections indicating that 150,000 Emiratis will be employed by 2033, 70

per cent of whom will be working in the private sector.
