Ethiopian Airlines staff graduate from UK’s Open University

Ethiopian Aviation Academy, the largest Aviation Academy in Africa, in collaboration with the Open University of UK, graduated fifteen management staff in Master of Business Administration (MBA) on Saturday, 12 June 2021.

The graduates are higher management staff of the airline, who have been attending the MBA program in the UK’s Open University.

Ethiopian Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam congratulated the graduates on their successful completion of the MBA program, saying: “The management staff have graduated in MBA after taking the program that was arranged by our Aviation Academy in collaboration with the popular Open University, where a number of citizens from different countries attend their education. I am very happy to see this day in which our long-term leadership succession plan is starting to show fruits as members of our senior management team graduate from the renowned Open University from which I also graduated some 20 years ago. We, at Ethiopian Airlines, strongly believe that education is the greatest differentiator of our world and we are investing adequately in continuous training of our valuable human resources”.

The globally acclaimed Ethiopian Aviation Academy plays a crucial role in catering educated and trained aviation professionals for Ethiopian Airlines, in particular, and for the African aviation sector, in general. The academy has a huge role in preparing competent and qualified staff for all sectors of the aviation.

Apart from programs provided solely by the academy, it also collaborates with other training centres to facilitate a wider range of training in various areas.

The Aviation Academy has already received the license to be an Aviation University and will soon start accepting students to be enrolled in different programs.
