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.
