The Emirates Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PwC’s Academy to facilitate industry-leading training and certification for its Emirati workforce.
Through this collaboration, Emirati professionals in human resources, finance and audit departments across the Emirates Group will receive qualification training in CIPD, CIA and CFA provided by PwC Academy, a prominent business institution for consulting and advisory.
Oliver Grohmann, Emirates Group’s Senior Vice President for Human Resources, said the agreement with PwC’s Academy is a reiteration of its commitment to develop Emirati professionals across the Group, equipping them with added skills and the competitive advantage of world-class certification to further their careers and excel on the global stage.
Taimur Ali Mir, PwC Partner and Head of qualifications and certifications at PwC’s Academy said an upskilled national workforce is the key driver of the UAE’s transformation agenda.
“We are delighted to reinforce our commitment to the cause through this MoU with the Emirates Group. Together, not only will we support the strategic growth of the National talent, but also will empower a globally competitive workforce across roles and seniority by equipping them with internationally recognised certifications and qualifications,” he said.
