INJAZ Al-Arab, a Jordan-based non-profit education and training organisation and a member of Junior Achievement (JA) Worldwide, has partnered with Boeing to introduce a course focused on aviation sustainability.
This course is now accessible on the INJAZ Campus digital education platform and is designed to equip 4,000 high school and university students in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, and Oman with the necessary knowledge and skills to advance sustainability within the aviation sector.
Kuljit Ghata-Aura, president of Boeing Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central Asia, emphasised the importance of this initiative: “Achieving commercial aviation’s net zero target by 2050 requires involving the next generation. Boeing is partnering with nonprofits and academia to educate and inspire young talent who will eventually design, build, and operate zero-emissions aircraft or develop new pathways for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).”
The course aims to enhance students' understanding of corporate social responsibility, sustainable operations, the transition to renewable energy, including SAF, and more, thereby inspiring them to pursue fulfilling careers in aviation and sustainability.
Akef Aqrabawi, president and CEO of INJAZ Al-Arab, expressed enthusiasm for the new course: "We are thrilled to introduce our first-ever sustainable aviation course, marking a significant milestone in our longstanding partnership with Boeing. INJAZ has always been dedicated to empowering young people to make positive changes in their lives and communities. With environmental concerns ranking among the world's top priorities today, we believe this course will serve as a gateway to building a professional sustainability-driven community."
The course is available both offline and online, providing flexibility to accommodate the specific needs of each participating country. It is open to students enrolled in academic institutions in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, and Oman.
The curriculum consists of six comprehensive one-hour modules, addressing various aspects of sustainability in aviation. Participants will engage in real-world case studies, gaining practical insights into balancing the decarbonisation of aviation with the preservation and enhancement of its societal and economic benefits.
INJAZ Al-Arab and Boeing have collaborated to upskill and empower the youth in the Middle East and North Africa for over 15 years.
