ADGMA And Ethara Collaborate To Foster Next-Gen Emirati Professionals
Abu Dhabi Global Market Academy (ADGMA), the premier institution for financial education in Abu Dhabi, has recently announced its strategic partnership with Ethara, the leading company in live event management and venue operations in the region. This collaboration is set to usher in a new era of educational and professional development opportunities for Emirati talent, underlined by the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs).
The partnership is dedicated to the cultivation and enhancement of the next generation of Emirati professionals. By leveraging the strengths of both entities, ADGMA and Ethara are poised to create a robust educational hub. This hub will not only focus on training programs tailored to meet the evolving needs of the market but will also introduce National Development Programmes aimed at the effective onboarding, growth, and retention of Emirati talent across various job roles.

Central to this collaboration is the joint commitment to advancing the employability skills of both existing and emerging Emirati talent. This will be achieved through cooperation with the National Development Programme and Financial Job Centre. Moreover, the initiative will see the launch of new courses designed to enhance specific skill sets and competencies, thus propelling Emirati professionals forward in their career trajectories.
Mansoor Jaffar, CEO of ADGM Academy & Research Centre at ADGMA, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "At ADGM Academy, we are committed to fostering the growth and development of Emirati talent to meet the changing demands of the market. This partnership with Ethara is a reflection of the significant steps we are taking towards creating a dynamic educational hub that will not only upskill our workforce but also ensure that our national talent is equipped with the competencies needed to thrive in an ever-evolving professional environment."
On behalf of Ethara, Ahmed Lari, Chief Corporate Services Officer, shared his optimism about the collaboration, remarking, "We are delighted to announce our collaboration with ADGM Academy, through which we aim to empower the next generation of industry leaders in the region. With a wealth of world-class, international expertise within our organisation, and through our operations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, we are dedicated to playing our part in nurturing Emirati talent in the industry."
To oversee the implementation of the MoU's provisions and guide decision-making in areas of mutual cooperation, a joint working group comprising representatives from both ADGMA and Ethara will be established. This initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing the skill sets and professional capabilities of Emirati talent, thereby contributing to the growth and innovation across industries in the UAE.
This strategic partnership reflects a shared vision for the future, where Emirati professionals are not only equipped to meet the challenges of the current market but are also prepared to lead and innovate in their respective fields. By focusing on continuous learning and professional development, ADGMA and Ethara are setting a strong foundation for the sustainable growth of the UAE's workforce.
