United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) announces the addition of in demand emerging technology training, certifications and micro-credentials to their curriculum through partnership with global certification body CertNexus.
Growth in new technologies
As both public and private sectors navigate within the fourth Industrial Revolution, multi-vendor and open-source solutions are the norm to provide best in class results. Whether it is employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Data Science to grow a business, implementing a high value innovation using an Internet of Things (IoT) solution, or maintaining secure access to protect customer data through security protocols, it is the people responsible for maintaining and implementing the solutions that provide the greatest value and highest risk to an organization. As technology becomes the de facto solution across all industries there is a need for emerging technology training.
“There is an increasing deficiency of skilled talent within data driven technology roles which risks stifling growth,” says James Varnham, Managing Director of Logical Operations, CertNexus, “and to that end academia is having to be agile in providing industry-based training and certification opportunities for under-grad and graduate students to ensure that they have the skills demanded by their future employers in the private or public sectors. UAEU have proven to provide the academic thought leadership needed to bridge the gap between academic accomplishments and the constantly evolving demand of skills that the private sector is screaming out for.”
