August 29th, 2016: Director of graduate studies programs at Canadian University Dubai (CUD), Dr. Marc Poulin, has been sharing his expertise in business education with government officials, educators and business students from India during two recent events focusing on higher education policy and practice.
Dr. Poulin was invited to share his insights at the seventh edition of the World Education Summit held in the Indian capital, New Delhi. Joining a panel of senior university personnel from across the country, Dr. Poulin contributed to discussions on the theme ‘From Education to Employment’, revealing the key factors involved in nurturing industry-university partnerships.
Organized by technology media and research company, Elets, the World Education Summit convenes government officials and senior representatives from leading education institutions to exchange ideas on the future of higher education. This is the second time CUD has been invited to contribute to the event, with University President Pr. Karim Chelli presenting at the sixth edition of the Summit earlier this year.
Back in Dubai, CUD was selected to play host to a study tour of 150 students and accompanying faculty from New Delhi’s Fortune Institute of International Business, during which Dr. Poulin was invited to present a lecture on business education and practices in the Middle East.
During the presentation, Dr. Poulin provided a detailed insight into the region’s business environment and work culture, the professional practices followed by companies in Dubai, and the approach to skills development, research, and learning in a multicultural environment. He highlighted the benefits of the MBA program in particular, in providing unrivalled opportunities to develop professional business networks among fellow students.
CUD was the only higher education institution visited by the delegation of Post Graduate Diploma in Management students and faculty during their four-day visit to the UAE, which also took in site visits to a range of business organizations.
