Emirates Skills

World Skills is an international, non-profit association of agencies responsible for promoting vocational education in their countries or regions. The U.A.E is a member and on 9-10th Jan this year hosted a symposium to promote the development of Trade skills in the U.A.E.

The U.A.E. will be participating in the next round of World Skills competitions to be held in Japan in November this year - specifically the Abilympics competition.

In order to promote the ongoing activities of Emirates Skills, a new website will be created to list news, competitions and other associated events or information.

This will also serve as a pilot project to demonstrate in a simplified but practical way the kind of system planned for the new IAT website. A link to the new prototype website will be available here shortly.
