Dubai: DP World has unveiled the inaugural phase of its ‘National Talent Development Program 2023’ (20Xel). The program seeks to train and develop the next generation of Emirati leaders in trade, logistics, and supply chain management.
The program, which is the cornerstone of DP World’s emiratization efforts, aims to foster a culture of dedication and team spirit while also encouraging innovation in a key sector. It focuses on key topics, including future trade, logistics, and supply chain skills, to develop theoretical and practical expertise for successful careers in a technology-based world.
The principles that govern the 20Xel Program stem from the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai. This comprehensive vision is founded on a steadfast commitment to excellence and creativity, fostering an enlightened model for progress. Our primary objective is to actively contribute to maintaining Dubai’s leading position as a global investment destination, transcending its previous role as a regional economic hub.
Mr. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, shared.
“Central to this vision is the unwavering focus on nurturing Emiratis and promoting sustainable development. We wholeheartedly invest in the knowledge economy and our Emirati youth’s remarkable talents,” Mr. Sulayem added.
The program is open to Emirati graduates from all disciplines. Participants will receive an international supply chain management diploma from the Rotterdam School of Management and hands-on training and guidance from experienced DP World mentors.
The program consists of four stages: foundational, operational, developmental, and leadership. Participants can obtain an international supply chain management diploma from the prestigious Rotterdam School of Management. Furthermore, hands-on training and guidance from experienced colleagues enhance the learning experience.
