United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) - the first and foremost comprehensive national university in the United Arab Emirates announces the addition of in demand emerging technology certifications and micro-credentials to their curriculum thanks to their new partnership with global certification body CertNexus.
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, the need for skills standardizations is more crucial than ever.
“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”
CertNexus is committed to providing certification programs that ensure students have best-in-class skill sets to match an organizations business critical technology solution. CertNexus’ certification programs in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Data Science, IoT and Cyber Security broaden Data, Developer, IT, and Security professional’s knowledge and empower individuals on how to apply an ethical filter across these data driven technologies, by validating skills using globally recognized curriculum and high stakes examinations. CertNexus micro-credentials provide non-technical business leaders, project managers, and compliance personnel the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions and lead projects. Whether providing introductory information, a deeper dive in specialized area, or compliance training, micro-credentials are right-sized for the need – validating focused knowledge.
