Government of Dubai Media Office: His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, today directed the Emirati Human Resources Development Council in Dubai to develop a 100-day action plan to enhance the employment of Emiratis in the private sector.
During a meeting of the Council chaired by him, HH Sheikh Maktoum stressed that the Dubai Government, guided by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, places the highest priority on raising the employment prospects of Emiratis.
The 100-day action plan will outline measures to forge a wide range of partnerships with companies, organisations and free zone entities to advance the job prospects of UAE nationals in the private sector.
