The Emirates Youth Leadership Training program is designed for an exclusive group of individuals who are committed to taking their leadership skills to the next level.

This is a practical program that has been developed with input from top experts in leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence. Therefore it is guaranteed to help you reach your goals. You will also get a chance to practice the new strategies and techniques with direct feedback from your coaches and mentors.

Emirates Youth Leadership Program is the result of working with over 5,000 young Emiratis and understanding their needs, desires, goals, dreams, and also what skills they need to be able to show up as world-class leaders and influencers. From September 2018 to December 2019, the UAE Federal Youth Authority gave COACH KARDAN an opportunity to conduct monthly workshops at several youth hubs in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Ajman and as a result of over 30 powerful workshops, this program was initiated for the youth, by the youth and with the vision, innovation and relentless effort of its founder COACH KARDAN. This program is aligned with the UAE Centennial 2071 plan, a vision for the next 50 years. We are grateful for all the support we are receiving from many governments and semi-government entities including the national archive in Abu Dhabi for sponsoring their Emirati employees who want to step up and become better leaders for the future of the UAE and the Crown Prince Court in Abu Dhabi who has been a major sponsor to several ambitious Emiratis who graduated from this program. We are also thankful to the University of Sharjah, UAE University, Zayed University, Knowledge Summit, the Gulf News, and Emirates Literature Festival for giving us the opportunity to showcase and represent this program in a professional way.
