It will have representatives from the public and private sector. The new council serves as a reference for entities involved in the development of Emirati human resources in Dubai’s private sector.
It will coordinate with companies to increase the number of UAE nationals working in strategic sectors.
It aims to foster an environment in the private sector that is conducive to attracting Emirati talent and ensure that educational outcomes for Emiratis are aligned with the requirements of the UAE labour market.
The decree outlines the roles of the council, which include charting strategic plans for enhancing the private sector employment of UAE nationals; proposing and reviewing policies and legislations for advancing the council’s objectives; and developing programmes that support this goal.
The council will also develop mentoring and career planning programmes; launch initiatives to provide guidance to Emiratis on obtaining private sector employment; and coordinate with stakeholders to enhance career opportunities for Emiratis.
It will review global best practices, develop research studies, and generate data to help formulate better strategies in this regard.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, also issued a resolution, appointing the Chairman and Members of the Emirati Human Resources Development Council.
