An agreement to organize a popular higher education fair of India in the UAE was signed between Sultan Shattaf, director, sales and marketing, Expo Centre Sharjah, and Sripall D Jain, managing director, K2 Learning Resources India Private Limited, recently at Expo Centre Sharjah.
An initiative of K2 Learning, “Career Uttsav” aims at educating students about innumerable career options and providing a common platform to address questions that have not been asked yet. The workshops conducted during the event equip students with myths and facts to understand various career options and the path ahead to a bright and successful future.
“The UAE and India enjoy special relations. India is the largest trading partner of the UAE, while the UAE is India’s third largest trading partner. The comprehensive partnership set in motion by our leaders is having an unprecedented impact in several areas, including the education industry, and I am happy to welcome our trusted partners from India to Sharjah and the Middle East,” said Saif Al-Midfa, CEO, Expo Centre Sharjah.
The International Education Show is now in its 17th edition and will be organized by Expo Centre Sharjah with the support of Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the UAE Ministry of Education and Sharjah Private Education Authority, from Oct. 19-21, at Expo Centre Sharjah.
“The UAE is home to a big Indian diaspora. Through our association with K2 Learning Resources India we wish to extend our warm invitation to the top universities, eminent higher education institutions, boarding schools and other education facilitators to participate and open doors to aspiring students in UAE,” added Al-Midfa.
Career Uttsav is one of the biggest multi-city higher education fairs in India catering to tens of thousands of students and parents, along with concurrent editions, seminars and workshops. During the International Education Show 2021, Career Uttsav’s exclusive kiosk — “Career Kaffe” — will offer a free psychometric test supported with a personalized detailed report to help every participating student seek career clarity.
Jain said: “India offers an extensive range of study programs that are recognized globally. With hundreds of universities and thousands of colleges to choose from, there are many other perks that make India among the top choice for students to pursue higher education.”
The UAE hosts one of the largest Indian expatriate communities in the world, comprising 3.4 million people, which is 27.49 percent of the total population.
