Educating the future

During the two-week programme, the students explored important questions about the post-COVID world, both for business organisations and societies more broadly. Among these: what are the likely long-term implications of disruption to global supply chains? Who in our societies will gain from these changes, and what will happen to those who are worse off?
 
Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the Future of the Business World programme was conducted on a fully virtual basis in 2020, with selected students attending live classroom sessions and collaborating with other international students through an online platform. This required new skills and ways of working by all involved.
 
ADIA’s Early Preparation Programme identifies talented young UAE Nationals and provides them with guidance and support in shaping their future education and careers. The programme provides students with insights into the opportunities and challenges of studying abroad, while building understanding of their strengths, interests, intended majors and possible career trajectories. It acts as a stepping-stone to ADIA’s Scholarship Programme, which sponsors eligible students to attend prominent universities around the world.
