Emirates SkyCargo celebrates leadership training graduates

Emirates SkyCargo has announced that the first cohort of high-performing cargo managers have graduated its executive leadership training programme.

The course provided candidates with tools focused on future operations and industry trends, such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI), embedding innovation, optimising current operations and implementing impactful sustainability initiatives.

Emirates SkyCargo partnered with AviationNOW, an arm of the GrowNOW Group and member of The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA), to develop and deliver the training programme. Following a combination of theoretical and practical sessions hosted at Emirates Group headquarters in Dubai, each candidate achieved a diploma endorsed by AviationNOW.

Emirates SkyCargo says the skills the graduates developed will be implemented in their immediate roles as well as contributing to personal and organisational growth.

Worldwide, the logistics industry faces a lack of skilled workforce, driven by a lack of awareness on career paths and progression, opportunities for learning and development and training on skills required for modern logistics. Emirates SkyCargo aims to combat this within its operations, by creating a wealth of opportunities to inspire employees across all levels to develop their career with the airline. In turn, this contributes to the long tenure of staff, and helps the division attract the best talent in the industry.

Badr Abbas, divisional senior vice president of Emirates SkyCargo, said: “Our people are the crux of our success. As an employer of choice, we proudly attract and retain the best talent in the industry, and a large part of this is the access to development opportunities that hone skillsets and elevate personal development.

“Devised inhouse in coordination with Emirates Learning & Talent and HR teams, these programmes advance the skillset within our talent pool, ensuring Emirates SkyCargo is future-fit.”

Learning and talent has long been a priority for the Emirates Group with thousands of employees participating in various training courses every month. The group has implemented two leadership programmes in partnership with INSEAD, as well as programmes delivered in collaboration with London Business School, Warwick School of Business and Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy.

The second cycle of new candidates to study on the Emirates SkyCargo executive leadership training programme is set to begin in April.
