---|---|
Author | Christopher Hill; Rachael Merola |
Abstract The UAE government is striving to enhance the employability of higher education (HE) graduates, and the workforce in general, in anticipation of a more diversified, competitive and automated economy. Transnational education (TNE)- provided by the numerous foreign universities operating in the emirate- are seen as part of the solution, but must navigate local and cultural norms and balance domestic and international students. Domestic institutions are also launching initiatives to create a better educated workforce. This article explores how HE initiatives are helping the nation transition to a more diversified economy. |
