Abu dhabi: The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has announced a strategic partnership with PwC to initiate a knowledge transfer programme aimed at enhancing the skills and future readiness of national talents across the federal government.
According to Emirates News Agency, this initiative is designed to accelerate the development of national talents, equipping them to meet future requirements. The Memorandum of Cooperation was signed by Faisal bin Butti Al Mheiri, Director-General of FAHR, and Khalid Ahmed bin Breik, Consulting Partner and Head of the Emiratisation Programme at PwC Middle East.
The programme provides federal government employees with opportunities for full- or part-time hands-on training within PwC’s work environment, lasting between three to six months. It focuses on transferring expertise, allowing participants to apply newly acquired skills in their workplaces, thereby contributing to the enhancement of the government work environment.
Faisal Al Mheiri highlighted that the partnership with PwC underscores FAHR’s commitment to the UAE government’s vision of human empowerment, recognising individuals as the cornerstone of sustainable growth and innovation. He noted that the programme would bolster institutional capacities, improve government performance efficiency, and promote a culture of continuous learning among Emirati talents, aligning with the government’s strategic directions and future vision.
He emphasized the programme as a pioneering platform for public and private sector expertise exchange, offering unique opportunities to develop future skills and empower Emirati talents to spearhead development and innovation initiatives within the federal government.
Khalid Ahmed bin Breik remarked, ‘Our partnership with the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources extends our commitment to supporting the UAE’s development agenda by building capabilities and empowering national talents. This collaboration will open new horizons for learning and knowledge exchange, enhancing the readiness of government entities to achieve a positive and sustainable impact’.
The knowledge transfer programme with PwC is aligned with the training and development framework recently launched by FAHR. It is based on a global model for capacity development, emphasizing 70 percent hands-on experience within international work environments, 20 percent interactive training and knowledge exchange through mentorship and collaboration with international experts, and 10 percent structured theoretical training.
This programme model aims to link training outcomes with workplace needs, building qualitative capabilities in leadership, innovation, and future skills, thereby enhancing national talent readiness and achieving a sustainable institutional impact.
