the preparation of a skilled Emirati workforce ready to lead the future economy.”

comprehensive framework that involves continuous training, knowledge transfer, and the development of a strong innovation
ecosystem to support the sustained professional growth of Emirati talent in Dubai. This integrated approach aligns with the UAE’s
vision of positioning Emiratisation as a key driver in the shift toward a knowledge-based economy, where national talent is at the
forefront of shaping the country's future.”

the foundation of our nation's digital transformation and innovation journey. This partnership with EHRDC reflects our strong
commitment to supporting Emiratisation, not only by creating high-quality job opportunities but also by investing in skills
development. Our goal is to prepare youth for the future by equipping them with expertise in advanced areas such as artificial
intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital economy. In doing so, we aim to enhance their contribution to building a sustainable,
knowledge-driven economy.'
