Dubai: Create the next generation of skilled workforces – that was the theme of an event that brought together UAE and Australian government officials.
The Australian state of New South Wales showcased its higher education, vocational training and research sector, in a bid to attract more students and research collaboration to the state.
“Six of NSW’s 12 universities rank in the world’s Top 200 and we are home to Australia’s largest vocational education and English language training sectors,” said Toshi Kawaguchi, Director for Study NSW.
The event also had two panel sessions, the first discussing the future of international education and the ways to collaborate to address critical skills shortage in sectors such as tech and cybersecurity. The second panel called in NSW alumni in the UAE, to hear about how their experience in Australia shaped their lives.
“NSW is investing significantly in innovation precincts, such as Tech Central and Westmead Heath Districts, that link education and research to advanced industries and emerging tech ecosystems,” said Kawaguchi. “This is appealing to so many students around the world who are keen to develop their skills and leave their mark on the world.”
