UAE – UK Collaboration in Skills, Qualifications and Assessment

During the latter half of 2024 the UAE-UK Business Council held a series of virtual knowledge-sharing meetings between experts and stakeholders in the UK and UAE, where three priority themes were identified as presenting strong opportunities for commercial collaboration and where potential market access and regulatory barriers might exist. These three themes are:

  • Industry Perspectives

  • Regulatory and Pedagogical Perspectives

  • Women and Skills

The discussion points from these calls will be showcased in a series of specially curated webinars on the following dates:

  •  Industry Perspectives – 7th May 2025

  • Regulatory and Pedagogical Perspectives – 8th May 2025

  • Women in Skills – 9th May 2025

We will publish details of these webinars on our website and on LinkedIn in due course.

The outcomes from the virtual calls and webinars will be published in a White Paper, which will be submitted to both Governments for consideration. The Paper will contain a series of recommendations for Government, industry, and the wider business community on the opportunities for commercial collaboration, knowledge sharing, examples of best practice and solutions to existing barriers that exist within the educational ecosystems and regulatory environments in both countries. The UAE-UK Business Council will follow up on the recommendations made in the Paper on a six-monthly basis.
