Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) launched the Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce project under the theme Talent 2033 today in the presence of various representatives from federal authorities, government bodies in Dubai, and key employers of organisations in the private sector.
These organisations operate in diverse sectors such as travel, logistics, tourism, information and communications technology, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, healthcare, education, and manufacturing.
The primary aim of the project is to establish Dubai as a global and competitive hub that fosters talent empowerment and facilitates strategic workforce planning across both the government and private sectors.
The objective is to expedite the integration of 65,000 Emiratis into the private sector. Simultaneously, the initiative seeks to digitise labour market forecasts, enhance productivity, and implement automation through advanced analytics engines. Lastly, the project will focus on devising capacity-building programmes tailored for the future workforce.
The Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce project is structured into four main phases spanning a 12-month period. Even beyond the completion of these main phases, specific initiatives and programmes will continue in subsequent periods.
Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, said,
“At DGHR, we place utmost priority on fostering collaboration and alliances with key stakeholders within the Emirate. This initiative reflects our vision to bolster Dubai’s future plans by leveraging exceptional talents, brilliant minds, and globally competitive expertise. It aligns seamlessly with Dubai’s strategic vision for 2033, including the ambitious Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which seeks to double the size of Dubai’s economy over the next ten years. Additionally, it is in line with the Dubai 2024 Urban Master Plan, which prioritises the implementation of The UAE Net Zero by 2050. We are also confident that this project will yield a positive impact on the human element in Dubai and the UAE. Moreover, we eagerly anticipate expanding our collaborative efforts with strategic partners in government and private sectors, driving the advancement of our strategies and programmes, and establishing new benchmarks for government efficiency.”
In anticipation of the project launch, the Directorate General of Human Resources (DGHR), led by Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director-General, conducted a series of visits to key government and private entities. These visits focused on fostering collaboration and joint efforts within the scope of the Future Proofing Dubai’s Workforce project.
Initiated by DGHR, this project aims to envision the future of Dubai’s workforce in response to dynamic job market changes, emphasizing understanding market trends and skills essential for human capital. Aligned with the strategic vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the project seeks to position Dubai as a global hub for innovation and creativity, fostering partnerships between the government and private sectors for sustainable development and community well-being.
