Leaders of Tomorrow’ is an initiative launched and supported by the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) which aims at building the local human capital in the region. The initiative consists of a year round program, where GPCA members sponsor students to attend their yearly conferences. Each conference caters to the participating students by encompassing an element of the initiative in the form of a seminar, workshop, roundtable and/or a site visit. The main goals of these activities were to provide the students opportunities to learn more about industry trends and give them an overview of the skillsets required to face contemporary challenges. • Saudi Arabia: Seven students from Zayed University (ZU), Khalifa University and UAEU participated in the Leaders of Tomorrow programme in Al Dhahran – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The students also attended the Research and Innovation Summit in Manama – Bahrain, where they were awarded for being the best participating team in the industry workshop. • Dubai: Ten SCI students attended the Leaders of tomorrow programme as part of the 11th GPCA Supply Chain Conference. During the conference, the Higher Colleges of Technology – Abu Dhabi Women Campus (ADWC) was awarded second place for their project: Paper, Plastic, Can (PPC) Process Improvement Project for Business Sustainability
