Al Falasi said, "At DGHR, we consider investing in human capital as a major step towards attaining the vision of our
wise leadership in leading the global innovation and technology landscape and positioning Dubai at the forefront of
the world's top knowledge economies. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in empowering our workforce with
skills to drive digital transformation across both public and private sectors with precision and agility. The move will
ensure the sustainability of economic and social development and ensure the emirate's competitiveness in different
fields. In addition, this agreement signifies our unwavering commitment to shaping a prosperous future for the
coming generations by equipping them with vital knowledge and technologies and promoting a work environment
based on innovation, creativity, and institutional excellence."

Furthermore, the collaboration comes in alignment with Dubai's ambitious vision to attain global leadership in
technology and digital transformation. It also contributes to the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) by
developing a sustainable knowledge economy based on exploring and leveraging advanced global technologies to
strengthen the field of human resources.

Essa Kazim, Governor of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), said, "The development of a future-ready
workforce is fundamental to Dubai's ambition of becoming a global leader in technology and innovation. This
collaboration between DGHR and DIFC's Dubai AI Campus underscores the importance of aligning efforts across
government entities to equip talent in the public and private sectors with advanced AI capabilities. By investing in
human capital and fostering cross-sector partnerships, we are creating the foundations for a sustainable knowledge
economy that will drive growth, competitiveness, and long-term prosperity for the emirate."

Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will jointly implement a series of training programmes focused on
real-world applications, with courses tailored to meet the requirements of targeted segments in the labour market,
such as senior executives and mid-level managers. It will also include the provisions for hands-on training and
practical projects, alongside career mentorship, residency training programmes, and exclusive opportunities for
networking and knowledge exchange, to foster strong professional relationships among participants.

A key initiative under this partnership is the 'AI for Civil Service' programme, aimed at upskilling government
employees by training them in using generative AI technologies to enhance public services. As part of the
programme, participants need to present innovative ideas, which will be assessed by a specialised committee
comprising representatives from the DIFC, Udacity, and industry experts. The programme also provides
opportunities for knowledge sharing, along with access to advanced mentoring and coaching sessions.

The cooperation also focuses on hosting advanced and specialised seminars and workshops, producing high-quality
scientific content, and sharing the latest research on AI applications in human resources management. Furthermore,
the agreement promotes joint efforts in supporting tech initiatives and events held in Dubai, aiming to enhance
institutional performance and improve workplace environments.
This agreement builds on the Department's relentless efforts to develop and invest in human capital in order to
position Dubai as a leader in digital transformation and boost economic productivity through the broad integration of
AI education. It represents the shared vision of the DGHR Department, DIFC, and Dubai AI Campus to foster a
culture of government-led innovation while preparing a new generation of leaders and specialists with the necessary
skills and mindset to shape the future and actively support Dubai's global ambitions and forward-looking vision.
