The partnership aims to create specialised training programmes and job opportunities in advanced technology and telecommunications, in line with the UAE’s strategy for a sustainable digital economy.

The MoU was signed by His Excellency Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of the DGHR department and deputy chairman of EHRDC and Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO of du, in the presence of senior officials from both organisations.

Falasi, said: “The key goal of this agreement is to place Emirati talents at the core of Dubai’s ongoing digital transformation. Through this MoU, we aim to empower our youth, men and women alike, to acquire the requisite expertise to enhance their capabilities and increase their contributions to the country’s economy.

“The telecommunications and ICT sector is a major pillar of the new economy, and we are optimistic that our partnership with du will open new avenues for Emirati professionals to thrive in this vital sector and help achieve Emiratisation goals in line with national priorities.”

Hassawi, continued: “Our collaboration with EHRDC is a testament to our commitment to promoting Emiratisation and empowering national talents in the technology sector. At du, we believe that the true foundation for sustainable digital transformation is investing in human capital.

“Through this MoU, we are creating specialised training programs and career pathways that will offer Emirati professionals advanced digital skills so they can actively contribute to the development of an innovative digital economy that boosts Dubai’s competitiveness both regionally and globally.
