Officials and human resources specialists have asserted that the Global Government Summit serves as a strategic platform for outlining the future of human capital development.

The summit aims to underscore the latest trends in enhancing national workforce capabilities and preparing them for future labor market requirements, while also providing a global space for discussions on artificial intelligence and digital transformations.

Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Human Resources Development Council in Dubai, commented on the significant progress the UAE has made in building capabilities and training human resources across various sectors.

He noted that the UAE has outperformed many advanced countries in several critical fields, including artificial intelligence and data sciences.

Al Mansoori highlighted the council’s initiative, the "UAE Human Resource Journey Model," designed to support individuals from education through to retirement, thereby contributing to a generation of qualified professionals equipped to contribute to the nation’s future.

Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of the Human Resources Department for the Government of Dubai and Vice Chairman of the Human Resources Development Council, emphasized the status attained by the UAE and Dubai in enhancing human capital.

He marked the theme of "Humanity's Future and Skill Development" as paramount at the summit, facilitating a dialogue aimed at charting a course for human capacity building from Dubai to the world.

Al Falasi mentioned the strategies implemented in Dubai to adopt the latest technological advancements early, integrating them into government training programs.

He indicated that Dubai has been at the forefront of incorporating generative artificial intelligence into training modules.

Amaal Abdulatif, a human resources development expert, remarked on the evolving landscape of government training in light of rapid digital transformations and increased reliance on automation.

She underscored that developing skills goes beyond mere retraining and involves anticipating future needs.

Abdulatif referenced reports from the World Economic Forum and skill forecasts from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which indicate that the most sought-after skills in the coming decade will not only encompass technical knowledge but also emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and leadership capabilities in a constantly changing environment.
