ASME signs global training agreements with two international firms

ASME has entered into business partnerships with two international companies — Alliance Safety Management Services Sdn Bhd in Malaysia and Abar Solutions Petroleum Consultancy Ltd. in Kuwait — concerning the Society's Global Management for Engineering and Technology (GMET) training program for engineers.

Under terms of the legal agreements, Alliance Safety Management and Abar Solutions will administer the GMET courses to trainees, using the delivery format, method of instruction, and course materials developed by ASME.

GMET provides instruction and training on global corporate strategic planning and project management, cross-cultural team building, and other subjects designed to expand the knowledge and skill sets of engineers beyond the purely technical and into areas relating to international business management and operations.

Consisting of four courses, GMET is delivered through a blended learning format combining online course material, quizzes, case studies, and a discussion forum, coupled with a two-day online training program. Participants completing the course or program receive a certificate of completion.

According to the agreements, ASME will assist with schedules and also offer to select and dispatch instructors, teaching assistants, and interpreters for training sessions.

These agreements bring to six the total number of international education centers that are teaming with ASME on the GMET program. Earlier this year, the Society signed agreements with Beijing Jiaotong University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, South China University of Technology, and Beijing Modern Management Technology Education Center.
