DEWA promotes youth's skills in AI innovations
The Youth Council of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) organised an interactive workshop in collaboration with Microsoft to expand the knowledge of DEWA's young employees on writing effective prompts for Microsoft 365 Copilot. The workshop was held to mark World Youth Skills Day 2025, under the theme 'Youth Empowerment through AI and Digital Skills'. During the workshop, 30 DEWA young employees explored the advanced capabilities of Microsoft's Copilot technology, which uses generative AI. DEWA adopted Copilot in January 2024, becoming one of the first utilities worldwide to implement it. During the workshop, participants learned how to optimise the use of Copilot, including intelligent summarisation, automatic content creation and modification, as well as key phases of strategic collaboration between DEWA and Microsoft in AI and generative AI. "In line with the vision of our wise leadership and the National Youth Agenda 2031, we are committed to building a generation capable of shaping the future. We remain proactive in equipping DEWA's youth with the latest AI innovations and in refining their skills in this field. We support young people in playing a vital role in accelerating digital transformation, empowering them to move from being mere users of advanced technology to becoming active partners by investing in it and developing innovative solutions that enhance government work. We are also keen to strengthen their resilience and ability to use AI tools with the highest levels of awareness, ensuring the accuracy of input data and the evaluation of AI-generated outputs, enabling them to make informed decisions that enhance performance, productivity and creativity in the workplace,' said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA. Aysha Mohammad Alremeithi, President of DEWA's Youth Council, said: "With the support of DEWA's top management, we organise specialised workshops and events in co-operation with major local and international companies, aiming to develop youth technological skills and provide them with the tools to keep pace with the latest technologies and adapt to rapidly evolving global trends, making them the cornerstone of sustainable and inclusive development.'

As one of the pioneering corporate national youth councils, DEWA's Youth Council welcomed 13 benchmarking visits to exhibit and share its exemplary experiences, knowledge, practices and success stories. "We are working according to the directives of DEWA's top management to empower and support promising young Emiratis, and achieve the National Youth Agenda 2031. We nurture youth leaders by giving them the opportunity to participate in decision-making and policy making. Benchmarking visits by national youth councils serve as a vital platform for advancing national youth initiatives and enhancing their role in anticipating and shaping a sustainable future. DEWA's Youth Council co-operates with national youth councils and local and international institutions to invest in the talent and energy of young people, promote their productivity in all development sectors and strengthen the competitiveness of the UAE in all fields," said Aysha Mohammad Alremeithi, DEWA's Youth Council President. Amna Saleh Al Hammadi, Head of Emirates Health Services Youth Council, said: 'Guided by the vision of our wise leadership, which places great faith in the Emirati youth to shape the future, the EHS Youth Council is committed to enhancing the contributions of young talent to driving meaningful change and advancing the national goal of improving community health and well-being. These visits represent one of the key drivers of this change, particularly by utilising benchmarking insights to propose initiatives and innovations that contribute to developing previous work models and achieving unprecedented levels of excellence in fostering a culture of sustainability. By collaborating with various councils and institutions, we aim to empower youths to become the leaders of tomorrow, capable of addressing challenges and driving the UAE's aspirations for global leadership in health care'. DEWA's Youth Council has organised 74 events, 23 awareness sessions and six educational trips and field visits from October 2019 to December 2024.
