With a focus on the aviation sector, the new ‘ASAAS’ programs will facilitate the recruitment, training and development of young Emirati talents
Abu Dhabi Airports has introduced the ‘ASAAS’ programme to recruit and train Emirati university graduates interested in joining the aviation sector. The programme will offer them knowledge and experience in airport operations and management.
As part of this programme, successful university graduates will receive on-the-job training over a six-month period that is fully sponsored by Abu Dhabi Airports in collaboration with leading educational institutions.
The training has been designed to cover a wide range of industry-relevant subjects, such as airport operations (land and airside), aircraft flight and ground operations, health and safety, security management and general business management studies.
Engineer Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, MD and CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “Investing in the aviation sector is at the heart of our mandate at Abu Dhabi Airports. The ‘ASAAS’ programme is a testament to our commitment to paving the way for a new generation of Emirati aviation leaders who, with knowledge and experience, would be able to sustain the growth and development of this vital sector in Abu Dhabi and the UAE.
“With intensive on-the-job training in collaboration with top-class universities in Abu Dhabi, the next generation of aviation leaders will be well-equipped to shape the future of airports.”
Hanan Ibrahim Al Abed, chief human resources officer at Abu Dhabi Airports, commented: “We are pleased to sponsor a specialised academic programme in collaboration with top universities in the emirate to empower the selected candidates with the knowledge that they need to excel in their new career adventure at Abu Dhabi Airports.”
Partner universities and educational institutions will be announced soon.
