Dubai: ICON Training and Coaching has forged a strategic partnership with the American University in the Emirates (AUE) that will offer training programmes that are designed to equip the leaders of today and prepare future leaders across industries in the UAE, in the region and globally.
This partnership brings the best expertise and know-how of both institutions to the training programmes that are aimed at preparing leaders for business and society.
The training programmes will help companies, governments, and institutions develop leaders who are able to master the challenges of today’s complex and changing world, and prepare the leaders of tomorrow.

“Leadership is a rich and meaningful word. It stirs up a sense of idealism, excitement, hope and courage. It is a word that inspires us to be our best, a word that we associate with those who have made the greatest difference in our lives,” she added.
“In short, leadership is a significant part of the answer to whatever challenges our organisations and institutions may face, and this is why leadership programmes are at the heart of this partnership.”
The AUE, whose vision is to be among the leading liberal universities in the UAE and the region, tutors students with the knowledge and practical experience in a healthy learning environment. It offers unique and quality accredited degree programmes.
