ALHOSN University, an Abu Dhabi–based private educational institution dedicated to ‘global knowledge with local vision,’ will join the inaugural UAE Lead – Youth Leadership Congress taking place as part of NAJAH 2011, the 5th edition of the UAE’s leading annual exhibition on higher education, training and careers running from October 18 to 20, 2011 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
During the Congress, ALHOSN will be on the lookout for leadership opportunities for its students and ways in which the university can further support their personal and professional growth. A delegation of ALHOSN students will receive career assessments from AIESEC, the world’s largest student-run organization.

Leadership is one of the qualities we strive to bring out in our students, and this is why we are very excited over the new insights to be provided by this year’s inaugural UAE Lead – Youth Leadership Congress. And as usual, NAJAH will be a platform for ALHOSN University to showcase its competitive programs and share its vision of global knowledge with local vision with prospective students,” said Prof. Abdul Rahim Sabouni, Vice Chancellor and CEO, ALHOSN University.
