The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Dubai AI Campus.

The Dubai AI Campus is a Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) initiative and the largest AI-focused hub in the region. The agreement aims to support human capital development and future-proof the workforce in both public and private sectors.

The partnership was revealed as part of Dubai’s efforts to enhance local capabilities in line with global advancements in artificial intelligence (AI).

DGHR reported that the agreement includes the development and delivery of training and educational programs. These will equip individuals with AI skills across various industries.

Officials stated that the joint initiative targets the training of over 10,000 individuals by 2030. This supports Dubai’s vision of becoming a global hub for technology and innovation.

Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director-General of DGHR, emphasized the importance of investing in human capital. He said the collaboration highlights the Department’s commitment to enhancing employee skills across sectors.

He added that the initiative aligns with Dubai’s broader goal to lead in innovation and technology, contributing to long-term economic and social development.

Essa Kazim, Governor of DIFC, stated that the development of a future-ready workforce is essential to Dubai’s global ambitions. He noted that cross-sector collaboration is key to building a sustainable knowledge economy.

As reported, the agreement includes:

• Training programs focused on real-world AI applications.
• Tailored courses for senior executives and mid-level managers.

It also covers hands-on training, practical projects, and career mentorship. Participants will benefit from residency training programs, networking, and knowledge exchange.

One key initiative under the partnership is the ‘AI for Civil Service’ program. This will train government employees in using generative AI to improve public services. Participants must present innovative ideas, which will be reviewed by a committee of DIFC, Udacity, and industry experts.

The program includes advanced mentoring and coaching, along with access to knowledge-sharing platforms.

Both parties will also host AI seminars and workshops, produce scientific content, and share the latest research on AI in human resources.

The collaboration also supports tech events in Dubai to enhance institutional performance and workplace environments.

DGHR stated that the agreement is part of its ongoing efforts to build human capital and drive digital transformation. The move is expected to boost economic productivity and support Dubai’s position as a leading knowledge economy.
