Webinar on Women and Skills: UK and UAE Perspectives

9 May 2025

The empowerment of women through skills, education and training is crucial for promoting economic growth in both the UAE and the UK. Significant progress has been made to enhance the participation of women in technical and vocational education and strengthen pathways to long term employment and career advancement, particularly in traditionally male-dominated sectors such as engineering and manufacturing.

This webinar will explore the opportunities and barriers – regulatory and societal - that hinder the participation of women in technical and vocational education and career uptake, and examine the strategies being adopted by the UK and the UAE to overcome these barriers and make such careers more appealing to women at earlier stages in their educational journeys. The webinar will feature experts from the UK and the UAE and the discussion will form part of a subsequent White Paper on UK-UAE Collaboration in Skills that will be published later this year.

The webinar will be broadcast live and is free to watch on our You Tube channel - no registration is required. To view the webinar click here.
