Emirates Global Aluminium announced on Tuesday, September 15, that it resumed hiring young Emirati talent for technical roles through its National Training programmes, following a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emirates Global Aluminium recommences hiring young UAE Nationals after a pause due to COVID-19

Emirates’ National Training Programmes have been helping UAE Nationals since 1982 develop their technical skills while allowing them to work in operational areas in EGA’s smelters and power plants.

In the new normal life, EGA has adopted online classroom training programmes to educate the new batch both theoretically and practically, ensuring quality learning and well-being of the trainees.

Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, EGA’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are committed to recruiting and developing the best talent for EGA as an investment in our future. I welcome the new batch of young talented UAE National trainees to our company and commend my team for their efforts in resuming our National Training programmes, despite the challenges presented by COVID-19.”

Ibrahim Al Bastaki, Director – Maintenance at EGA and a former graduate of a National Training programme, said:  “Through a National Training programme at EGA, I was given exposure to various levels of technical and managerial skills through development modules with hands-on responsibilities and participation in numerous training courses and overseas conferences. This led to my learning, growth and a successful career path to where I am today, as Director of Maintenance. I am proud and privileged to have had the opportunity, which has taught me the rule of success ‘Aim higher, work harder, do not stop, push yourself and let every day be a new day of challenges’.”

Global Aluminium Expo 2020

More than 1,000 UAE Nationals work at EGA, and more than a third of the 1,800 people working in supervisory positions at the company are Emirati.

During the pandemic, almost 1,400 EGA employees worked from home, while more than 5,500 staff remained at their posts with all safety measures.
