In collaboration with the CMA CGM Academy, the French Business School KEDGE, and the ARSTM in Abidjan (Academie Regionale des Sciences et Techniques de la Mer), the Marseilles-based company intends to advance the skillset of its future African management team.
Twenty-four trainees from French Africa and the Indian Ocean will follow this training programme in Abidjan at ARTSM`s facilities.
The programme focuses on four areas: maritime, management, ethics and finance. It intends to answer CMA CGM`s development needs in Africa by strengthening its African staff.
It also intends to strengthen the group`s African network with executives experts in management and supply chain systems.
The programme relies on the KEDGE Business School`s expertise in both supply chain management and corporate social responsibility.
The school has been present in Africa since 2008 through its campus in Dakar and offers its experience in training courses throughout the African continent, said a company statement.
Since 2001, when CMA CGM launched its first maritime service in Africa, the continent is central to the group`s activities. More than 28 maritime lines connect the continent, through 42 offices employing 1,400 staff.
