The Emirati Human Resources Development Council (EHRDC) has signed a landmark agreement with the Community Development Authority (CDA) to expand employment opportunities for Emiratis and strengthen their role in Dubai’s economic and social development.
Signed by Abdullah bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director-General of the Dubai Government Human Resources Department and Deputy Chairman of EHRDC, and Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director-General of CDA, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) outlines a unified approach to empower national talent through targeted initiatives.
Under the agreement, both entities will collaborate to launch programmes that promote job creation, career guidance, and training tailored to Emirati professionals. The initiative supports Dubai’s broader strategy to foster a more inclusive, sustainable job market and aligns with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) and Dubai Social Agenda 33.
Al Falasi highlighted the importance of institutional partnerships in opening new professional pathways, saying the agreement aims to transform community councils into dynamic platforms connecting Emirati job seekers with employers.
Buhumaid added that the collaboration reflects Dubai’s commitment to putting people at the centre of development. She emphasised the long-term goal of community empowerment through practical, sustainable employment initiatives.
The partnership serves as a model of intergovernmental cooperation focused on Emiratisation, aiming to equip Emiratis with the skills and support needed to thrive in diverse sectors. It underscores the city’s continued efforts to enhance workforce participation and ensure long-term social and economic well-being for its citizens.
