Abu dhabi: AMMROC, the region's leading provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) solutions, has unveiled the 'Ruwad AMMROC Programme.' This strategic national initiative is crafted to attract, train, and employ young Emirati talent as technicians in the military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul sector.
According to Emirates News Agency, the programme underscores AMMROC's dedication to the UAE's vision of nurturing specialised national capabilities in engineering and technical disciplines. It aims to prepare highly qualified Emirati professionals for long-term careers in the aviation MRO sector. 'Ruwad AMMROC' offers an integrated development journey combining structured classroom learning with practical training in AMMROC's advanced hangars and workshops in Al Ain. Under the guidance of experienced engineers and technical specialists, participants gain exposure to advanced maintenance technologies while honing the necessary skills for success in one of the country's strategic industries.
The initiative provides young Emiratis with a clear pathway into a high-value technical profession, offering long-term aerospace career development opportunities. This supports the UAE's vision of building a knowledge and skills-based economy while advancing Emiratisation in the aviation sector. By 2030, AMMROC aims to recruit, train, and employ 100 Emirati technicians, contributing to a sustainable pipeline of national talent and bolstering the long-term operational readiness and resilience of the UAE's aviation and defence sectors.
Jasem Al Marzooqi, CEO of AMMROC, commented, "The Ruwad AMMROC Programme reflects our commitment to developing national talent capable of leading the future of the UAE's aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul sector. We believe that investing in people is the foundation of operational excellence and long-term readiness across strategic industries."
He added, "The programme demonstrates our vision of creating an integrated Technical and Aerospace career pathway that bridges education with real-world operational experience. By combining academic learning with hands-on training, we are preparing a new generation of highly skilled Emirati technicians equipped to the highest international standards."
Designed as more than a training initiative, the 'Ruwad AMMROC Programme' provides a structured development pathway from the first day as trainee technicians. It combines theoretical instruction, practical operational experience, on-the-job training (OJT), and specialised technical and aerospace training in a professional environment.
The programme consists of two main phases: foundational theoretical learning and intensive practical training and OJT within AMMROC's operational maintenance facilities. Participants gain specialised experience across four technical disciplines: Aircraft Structures, Engines, Components, and Specialised Services.
