Achievement Academy Outreach Program enhances English language skills for Sharjah government employees

With the goal of promoting professional growth among Sharjah government employees, the Achievement Academy Outreach Program recently completed an extensive English language program in collaboration with the Sharjah Department of Human Resources (DHR). The program aimed at enhancing communication skills, particularly those pertaining to reporting and discussing work-related issues.

The program, which lasted from November 14, 2023, to December 7, 2023, welcomed 25 participants from various Sharjah government departments. On November 9, the participants underwent a placement test that divided them into basic and elementary levels.

Under the guidance of the program's dedicated instructors, the participants engaged in tailored instruction two days per week, using online resources to boost their skills at their own pace and convenience. The curriculum focused on language proficiency and practical applications relevant to their roles within the government departments.

Dr. Lina Hejjawi, the Outreach Manager at the Achievement Academy, expressed the significance of this collaboration, highlighting the university’s commitment to contributing to the professional development of Sharjah government personnel. She emphasized the importance of designing programs that meet employees’ specific needs and conducting them in compliance with approved professional standards. Moreover, Dr. Hejjawi highlighted the Outreach Program’s enduring dedication to education, noting that the DHR English Language Program is one of the initiatives consistently held every semester for the past 15 years.

The program assessment results demonstrated the participants’ high satisfaction with the program, underlining the quality of education and the instructors’ outstanding efforts and skills. Dr. Hejjawi stated, “Our goal is to provide trainees with the knowledge and professional experience that equips them with confidence to navigate the business community successfully.”

The successful completion of the English language course for Sharjah government employees represents a milestone in the Outreach Program’s ongoing partnership with the Sharjah DHR and is a testament to the academy’s commitment to promoting continuous learning and professional growth within the community. The Achievement Academy Outreach Program intends to expand this practice by customizing training to the changing demands of the Sharjah community.
