How will you prepare for an AI-driven future when the technology landscape changes at

breakneck speed? The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) and

Dubai AI Campus have just answered this question with a groundbreaking partnership that will reshape how professionals across the UAE develop their skills.

The newly signed Memorandum of Understanding between DGHR and Dubai AI Campus,

the region's largest dedicated hub for AI companies, aims to advance human capital

development and future-proof the workforce across both public and private sectors. This

collaboration addresses a critical question: How can Dubai maintain its competitive edge

while ensuring its workforce remains relevant in an AI-dominated economy?

The partnership: Key facts & objectives

 

The strategic agreement brings together the Dubai Government Human Resources

Department and Dubai AI Campus, a DIFC initiative that serves as the largest dedicated

hub for AI companies in the region. According to Emirates News Agency, the core objective is to enhance local capabilities in line with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence both regionally and globally.

The partnership sets an ambitious quantifiable goal: training over 10,000 individuals by

2030. This massive upskilling initiative directly supports Dubai's vision of establishing itself as a pioneering global hub for technology and innovation, aligning perfectly with the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) and the emirate's broader digital transformation strategy.

Programs & initiatives: What it means for professionals

 

So, what exactly does this mean for working professionals in Dubai? The collaboration will

deliver dedicated training and educational programmes designed to equip individuals with

AI technologies across various key sectors.

The programmes focus on real-world applications, with courses specifically tailored to

meet the requirements of targeted segments in the labour market, including senior

executives and mid-level managers. But the programs go even further than traditional

training approaches.

Participants will benefit from hands-on training and practical projects, alongside career

mentorship, residency training programmes, and exclusive networking opportunities.

These elements create a comprehensive ecosystem for knowledge exchange and

professional relationship building.

The collaboration extends to hosting advanced seminars and workshops, producing high-quality scientific content, and sharing the latest research on AI applications in human

resources management. Additionally, the agreement promotes joint efforts in supporting

tech initiatives and events held in Dubai.

Broader vision: Dubai's strategic leap

 

This partnership represents far more than skills training – it's a strategic investment in

Dubai's economic and social development. Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director-General of DGHR, emphasized that the partnership demonstrates the Department's

commitment to enhancing skills across both sectors and empowering professionals to

navigate digital transformation.

"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," Al Falasi

stated, according to Emirates News Agency.

Essa Kazim, Governor of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), reinforced this vision:

"The development of a future-ready workforce is fundamental to Dubai's ambition of

becoming a global leader in technology and innovation. 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."

The initiative aligns with Dubai's ambitious vision to attain global leadership in technology

and digital transformation while contributing to the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda

(D33) by developing a sustainable knowledge economy.
