According to the “Zawya” website, the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation (AGF), in collaboration with Skyrize Partners, will mark Emirati Women’s Day by celebrating the achievements of participants in the Nomu Al Ghurair Program’s Women in Management and Leadership pathway.
Launched in November 2023, the program is designed to upskill Emirati and Arab Women over 12 to 18 months. In its seventh cohort, the initiative has enrolled over 300 Emirati and Arab women, enhancing their management and leadership skills to prepare them for success in the corporate world. The program targets students, recent graduates, and young professionals, with sessions across the UAE.
The program spans ten sessions over five weeks and covers self-management, work management, and leadership. Participants also benefit from career counseling, CV and LinkedIn workshops, and problem-solving and business communication training.
The program’s strong ties with the private sector, featuring partnerships like Mars, General Motors, Nestlé, SAP, Roland Berger, Arla, RAKEZ, Bayt.com, and Bain & Company, provide participants with real-world experience through case studies, training sessions, and mentorship. Graduates have secured interviews with industry partners, landed job opportunities across sectors, earned internships in Europe, and gained speaker roles at key events.
