15 Emirati Leaders Graduate From Landmark Leadership Programs By Schneider Electric, DP World
(MENAFN- Mid-East Info)
The Graduation Ceremony at Schneider Electric's new Dubai office 'The NEST' honoured nine undergraduate students from the Future Sustainability Leaders Program and six high-performing employees from the Talent Exchange Program. Participants gained hands-on exposure to cutting-edge sustainability practices, digital innovation and leadership development. The Future Sustainability Leaders Program offered Emirati undergraduates a five-month hybrid learning experience covering decarbonization, energy management and AI fundamentals. Students benefited from virtual sessions led by Schneider Electric experts and a month-long internship at DP World and Schneider Electric, equipping them with practical skills for careers in technology and sustainability. Meanwhile, the Talent Exchange Program provided six Emirati employees with a two-week immersion in each other's workplaces, including mentorship from industry leaders, field visits and hands-on projects. The program fostered cross-learning, strengthened collaboration between the two organizations and improved participants' capabilities in sustainability-driven decision-making and innovative business models. Speaking at the ceremony, Amel Chadli, President of Gulf Cluster, Schneider Electric, said:“Today marks an important milestone in Schneider Electric's synergies with DP World, and our shared commitment to advancing sustainability and technological prowess in the UAE, as well as mining national talent and boosting their competencies in critical future-focused fields. These young leaders will assume their rightful places in steering the country's innovation economy and in elevating the UAE's reputation as a key sustainability and technology leader.” Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC, said:“These programmes show what is possible when young Emirati talent meets strong partnerships. Investing in people is central to our sustainability strategy, and with over half the population under 30, the UAE has one of the world's youngest talent pools ready to lead the transition to greener trade and supply chains.” The collaboration builds on Schneider Electric and DP World's ongoing Emiratisation initiatives, including the Tamayuz Program, FEM in STEM, Next Gen Go Green, Ruwad, Tumoohi and Bedaya that equip the next generation of leaders with training and mentorship. Earlier this year, Schneider Electric launched a five-year, AED 100 million program to develop next-generation talent in the UAE, while DP World reinforced its broader $35 million education investment plan through 2030.
