DUBAI — ASME, founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, will present a special four-day training event in Dubai focused on three of the organization’s most popular continuing education courses for engineers and technical professionals.



“We are excited about bringing our training programs for mechanical engineers and technical professionals to Dubai,” said Ms. Jackie Oppenheim, Director of ASME Training & Development.



“Clearly, the Middle East is one of the most important regions in the world for the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Industries, and ASME is pleased to respond to the region’s increasing demand for technical training, particularly with respect to ASME codes and standards.”



Oppenheim continued, “Our selection of Eram Group in the Middle East to join our growing network of Authorized Training Providers worldwide is making our vision to expand ASME’s commitment to global engineering workforce development a reality.”



Dr. Siddeek Ahmed, Chairman of Eram Group added, “We are indeed honored to be associated with ASME as their authorized training provider. We will make every effort to reach out to the vast engineering community working in the Middle East.



“With ASME’s world-class training programs, organizations in the region will be able to benchmark the skills of their workforce to a global standard. ASME’s broad and specialized training portfolio can effectively augment the ongoing nationalization drive pursued by various governments in the region.”— SG
