Sanad announces partnership with Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide
Sanad, the global aerospace engineering and leasing solutions leader wholly owned by Abu Dhabi’s sovereign investor Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala), recently announced a collaboration with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, one of the world’s most respected universities specializing in aviation and aerospace.
This landmark collaboration marks the commencement of the second cohort of the Sanad Future Leaders Program, aimed at advancing the next generation of national leaders to drive the sustainable growth of aviation Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO).
This new phase underscores Sanad’s continued commitment to talent development, building on the success of the inaugural Sanad Future Leaders Programme conducted in 2023 in partnership with a prominent European business school, which resulted in the successful graduation of five national employees in the aviation sector.
Under this new partnership, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide will curate a leadership development program for Sanad employees. Eight talents demonstrating leadership skills – a quarter of which are females – from Human Resources (HR), engineering, operations and quality will embark on a new journey, gaining essential skills to deliver exceptional services to global OEMs and local and international airlines.
