Alstom, HEC Paris collaborate on training programme in Qatar
DOHA, September 6, 2016
Alstom and HEC Paris in Qatar have signed an agreement to train leaders from Alstom’s Middle East and Africa region in Doha under a specially designed MEA mid-management (M3) programme.
The agreement was signed on September 5 in Qatar's capital city in the presence of Matthias Fekl, French Minister of State for Foreign Trade, Promotion of Tourism and French Nationals Abroad.
The M3 Programme is a yearly programme co-designed by Alstom and HEC Paris in Qatar to give the selected participants access to HEC Paris’ faculty and learning methods. A total of 25 candidates from South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kazakhstan and Qatar were chosen for this international programme, which will take place between Doha and Paris over the next eight months.
The course is designed to reinforce the exceptional management skills of key talent and increase their capacity to act as change agents. The course is also designed to motivate Alstom’s managers to stay and evolve within the organisation. It aims to help them attain more senior positions as well as attract local managers to join in order to support Alstom’s continuous growth in Qatar and the broader Middle East and Africa region.
“We highly value sustainable growth and, through programmes like these, we encourage continuous improvement within our local talent pool,” said Thi Mai Tran, Alstom GCC’s managing director. “This programme shows that Alstom is a reliable long-term partner close to its customers, established in the MEA region to accompany countries in their rail development and disciplines” she added.
“We are committed to providing and ensuring optimal growth and training opportunities for every employee, from entry-level hires to senior executives,” says Jamel Sabeg, HR VP for the MEA region. “Alstom’s determination is second to none, as we proactively partner with educational institutes and provide apprenticeships while continuing to promote rail management professions throughout different regions,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
