Education Meets Industry: The Role of Work-Integrated Learning is a roundtable under Al Ghurair Connect by the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation.
This roundtable is designed to provide a platform for private sector employers to share their perspectives and insights on adopting Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) programs. At the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation, we are keen to hear directly from you to better understand your needs, challenges, and opportunities in collaborating with academic institutions to provide students, particularly Emiratis in public/private institutions across the UAE with practical, hands-on learning opportunities.
Your input is invaluable in shaping how we can align education with industry demands and support students in becoming future-ready professionals. This conversation is about listening to your experiences and exploring how we can work together to drive meaningful impact.
