Wednesday’s agreement was signed by Dr. Tamam Mango, CPF's
CEO, and Philippe Fontes, vice president of Airbus and head of Human Resources.
Under the agreement, 12 engineering students from Jordanian
universities will receive training at the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse,
France, under the supervision of company professionals.
CPF stated that they would recruit students by coordinating
with all Jordanian universities based on pre-determined criteria, with Airbus
selecting the final candidates.
"The partnership with Airbus is one of the most important partnerships we
have at CPF; it began in 2017 to provide engineering students with unique
training opportunities with the goal of enhancing their technical and cultural
skills," Mango said.
"The training will make the student more competitive on a local and
regional level, which is in line with CPF's strategic approach to fostering
young people's abilities and skills. This partnership is part of the CPF's
Youth Excellence Fund, which offers comparable internship opportunities,"
she added.
Mikail Houari, president of Airbus Africa and the Middle East, commented:
"Aerospace is a vital growth sector for the Middle East region, supporting
long-term economic growth and diversification.”
“It is, therefore, crucial to inspire and train future
talent to sustain the development of the industry,” he said. “At Airbus, we
have been driving various regional and global campaigns to engage with youth
and inspire them to study aeronautics and pursue jobs in the aerospace
industry.”
The CPF's chairman, Ghassan Nuqul, the French Ambassador in
Jordan, Véronique Vouland-Aneini, and president of Al-Hussein Technical
University Ismael Al-Hinti attended the signing ceremony.
