On behalf of ADEC, GTZ has designed a concept for a careers-oriented summer training program only for UAE nationals between the ages of 12 and 18. The purpose of the program is to provide a meaningful combination of leisure activities and vocational experience during the students' summer vacation.

"EMC endorses such activities as part of its corporate citizenship towards the UAE community and is in line with the Emiratization program put in place by our HR department. We have welcomed 100 students from ADEC to train at our Mercedes-Benz workshop in Abu Dhabi and develop their technical skills via practical and applied experience,"


commented Mr. Paul Billany, Training Instructor of EMC.

"During the five classes, the students have roamed the workshops to observe the operations of an automotive service center. Most of what they have learned in the academic year is theoretical understanding of carpentry, electronics, robotics, pneumatics, mechanics, and car mechanics. On the other hand, visiting the EMC workshop and practicing on real car engines how to repair it mechanically and electrically, is a terrific learning experience for the young boys," added Mr. Matthias Volkmer, former Central Motors & Equipment Workshop Manager presently with GTZ in Germany.
