Alejandro Garcia Vinagre, said: "It’s an honour to be recognised as a strategic partner
in advancing Emiratisation alongside the government. We are laying the foundation for
meaningful collaboration that supports national priorities and empowers people through

valuable careers. Our opportunities transfer our global capability and local knowledge to
Emirati talent, enabling them to lead the exciting future of infrastructure and community
evolution. By nurturing the next generation of Emirati leaders, we are helping to shape
industry standards and ensure the Emirati voice is at the heart of every local project. As
the UAE continues to transform, AECOM is proud to be part of this journey and contribute
to the growth of this great nation.”

This collaboration highlights EHRDC’s dedication to designing forward-looking
qualification programs in line with government initiatives that empower national talent
and cement the UAE’s position as a pioneering global hub for attracting and developing
the minds that will lead tomorrow’s projects. Furthermore, it serves as a model of effective
institutional partnerships that gather national organisations and leading global entities,
building an ideal work environment that ensures the sustained participation of UAE

nationals in the country’s economy.

The collaboration also marks a key step in creating an integrated network of expertise and
talent pool capable of further reinforcing Dubai’s position as a regional and international
leader in urban planning and engineering. It acts as a catalyst for the emirate’s sustainable
development journey, aligning with the wise leadership’s directives and in support of the
country’s broader economic and social goals.
