Alstom Training at Ajman University a Success
UAE: In February this year Ajman University (AU) and Alstom signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to foster mutual exchange. As part of the agreement Alstom said it would provide technical training to students. Alstom has now provided an update, saying it has delivered training to 15 students to date.

The students attended a two-week intensive course. They learned about railway transportation systems as well as topics such as operations, maintenance, safety awareness, maintenance management and quality management. In particular, the training format comprised theory sessions, group exercises, site visits, videos and exams. The students will now have the opportunity to put what they’ve learned to the test. Alstom says it is making internships available for them in Dubai. Both Ajman University professors and Alstom experts will supervise the students as they progress in their real-world training.
