Learning & Development
"We achieve what we do because of our people. We choose them very carefully, and just as important, they choose us very carefully”
Maurice Flanagan, Executive Vice Chairman - Emirates Airline & Group
People are the heart and soul of the Emirates Group, therefore recruiting, training and retaining high calibre people is one of the core values of the business.
In recognition of the importance of self-development and increasing knowledge and skills, Emirates operates high calibre training programmes which are accessible to all individuals across the Group.
These courses are facilitated through a variety of mediums including classroom based, on-the-job, online (eLearning), practical assessment, simulation, project based or a combination of these options (blended).
A network of Learning Resource Centres (LRC) exist in various Emirates Group buildings in Dubai, providing an environment for self or group-based study away from the busy workplace. In addition to this, ‘My Learning Zone’ is the Emirates Group learning portal. It provides a one-stop location for accessing training and development information and for online learning courses for all employees.
The ongoing development of our staff is actively encouraged by annual professional development courses in the areas of investigation, safety audit, risk assessment and human factors. Staff members also attend seminars and conferences to keep skills updated and remain abreast of industry developments.
Group Safety is involved with many international bodies supporting safety initiatives, and strives to make safety information and training available to a wider audience within Emirates, as well as the Middle East region.
