DUBAI, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Abu Dhabi signed a cooperation deal with a London-based institute to enhance the capability and expertise of human resources, United Arab Emirates (UAE) state news agency WAM reported Thursday.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and the London-based Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) signed on Thursday a cooperation agreement to enhance professional workforce, the report said.
The agreement, signed at ADNOC headquarters by Ghannam Al Mazrouei, director of the Human Capital and Administration Directorate at ADNOC, and Peter Cheese, chief executive officer of the CIPD, aims for partnership in the use of the CIPD Professional Standards, CIPD qualifications and human capital career pathways, in support of ADNOC's 2030 Strategy to develop "a highly skilled world-class workforce," WAM said.
This agreement "represents further investment in programs to accelerate the growth of ADNOC talent and helps create opportunities for our human resources team to fulfill its professional potential," Al Mazrouei said.
"We look forward to bringing our experience and programs to successfully help ADNOC build the kind of human resources expertise necessary to enable its progressive and efficient performance-led culture," Cheese noted.
As part of ADNOC's 2030 Strategy, the company has revitalized its human capital training and certification efforts to create a more robust professional development program designed to provide greater on-the-job learning and training.
Abu Dhabi is home to about 90 percent of the UAE's oil and seven percent of the world's known oil reserves.
