The MoU was signed by Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University, and Mr. Hanny Alshazly, Managing Director, MENA, at PMI. It outlines a framework for joint initiatives that will enhance project management capabilities among students, faculty, and professionals through a tailored digital platform powered by PMI. This platform will offer exclusive access to PMI’s internationally recognized certifications, experiential learning programs, and a global network of industry experts.

Dr. Karim Seghir stated:

“This partnership supports our mission of academic excellence and lifelong learning by equipping students with up-to-date project management skills, making them workforce-ready in a digital and project-driven world.”

Key initiatives under the partnership include co-developing case studies, collaborative research, access to PMI’s educational tools, and participation in regional and international events. The goal is to build a future-ready talent pool and bridge the gap between academia and industry.

Mr. Hanny Alshazly added:
