DUBAI: The Emirates Group has renewed its collaboration with Airbus Beyond to extend the Airbus Leadership Programme for UAE Nationals within the organization for an additional three years. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed to formalize this extension, further strengthening the commitment to developing Emirati talent. According to Emirates News Agency, the MoU was signed by Amira Al Falasi, Emirates Group's Senior Vice President of Training and Development, and Airbus Beyond CEO Adam McGonigal. The signing event was attended by key officials, including Oliver Grohmann, Emirates Group's Executive Vice President of Human Resources; Ahmed Safa, Head of Engineering and MRO at Emirates; and Philippe Fontes, Human Resources Director at Airbus Africa and Middle-East. The renewed agreement will continue to offer bespoke training modules specifically tailored for the Emirati workforce at Emirates, equipping them with necessary skills and experiences for future leadership roles. The programme has already seen more than 45 UAE Nationals complete its courses, which are designed to blend industry knowledge with essential leadership skills. The programme consists of two modules spread over five days each. The first module, held in Toulouse, focuses on building self-awareness and emotional intelligence, while the second module, conducted in Singapore, provides practical training through real-world business simulations to enhance problem-solving and analytical skills. This initiative is part of a broader commitment by the Emirates Group to invest in the development of Emirati leaders, ensuring that its UAE National workforce is prepared to meet future business objectives and challenges.
