The Emirates Group and AirBusiness Academy, a 100% subsidiary of Airbus and learning centre for the aviation and aerospace eco-system, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to extend Airbus’s leadership programme to UAE National employees at the Emirates Group.
The MoU was signed by Amira Al Falasi, Emirates’ Vice President, HR Talent Acquisition and National Talent Development and Serge Golofier, Head of Sales & Marketing at AirBusiness Academy.
The new agreement will enable the Emirates Group’s cadre of high-potential UAE Nationals to tap into the Airbus Leadership Programme tailor-made modular learning framework, which aims to equip current and future UAE National leaders with the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for their personal and professional development in an ever-changing business environment.
Topics will be centered on soft skills like self-awareness and emotional intelligence, as well as practical, interactive learning through commercial aviation business simulations. The programme will last 10 days and will take place at the AirBusiness Academy within the Airbus Leadership University in Toulouse.
Amira Al Falasi, Emirates’ Vice President, HR Talent Acquisition and National Talent Development said: “Developing our UAE National workforce is an investment for both our employees and the future of the Emirates Group, and we look forward to working with our long-standing partner Airbus to tailor a programme that empowers the future leaders of our organisation.
