The Emirati Human Resources Development Council (EHRDC) has signed a Memorandum of

infrastructure. The agreement seeks to strengthen Emiratisation in strategic sectors such as
engineering consultancy, urban planning and project management – key drivers of the UAE’s

sustainable urban and developmental growth.

The MoU was signed by Abdulaziz Al Falahi, General Supervisor of Recruitment Operations at

the Council, and Alejandro Garcia Vinagre, Vice President, Human Resources at AECOM, in the
presence of Ahmed Taleb, Senior director of human resource and support at Dubai Aviation

Engineering Projects, in addition to various senior officials and experts from both organisations.

Under the agreement, Emirati talent will gain access to advanced training and qualification

programs focused on engineering and knowledge-based skills linked to the design,
implementation and management of important infrastructure projects. Furthermore, it will offer

young Emiratis exposure to the current global best practices in engineering and infrastructure
and will have direct employment pathways in strategic national projects, reinforcing their role

as active contributors towards sustainable urban development.
