Commencing on 20 August 2024, the Institute for Advanced International Studies (IAIS), in collaboration with the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED), is hosting a comprehensive five-day leadership training program tailored for leaders and strategic planners of Uzbekistan GTL company.
The program is meticulously designed to cultivate leadership acumen, along with advanced skills in strategic analysis and planning, among professionals in the energy industry. This initiative is crucial for equipping sector specialists with the capabilities needed to adeptly navigate contemporary challenges and to significantly contribute to the sustainable development of their respective organizations. Continuous professional development is essential for middle and senior managers, project leaders, and strategic planners, who bear the responsibility for critical decision-making, effective team management, and successful project execution.

The training program was inaugurated with a speech by Dr. Sodyq Safoev, First Deputy Chairman of the Senate of Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Rector of UWED. Dr. Safoev emphasized the critical importance of training professionals who can advise the government on energy industry matters, particularly during this period of global economic restructuring. He stated, “The energy sector is a vital component of every economy. As the economy expands, so does energy consumption. Therefore, if the economy is growing at a rate of 6% annually, a country must increase its energy production by 6% to maintain that growth. In this process, the role of knowledgeable and well-prepared leaders is crucial”.
