Georgian Global specialises in creating practical, industry-focused training programmes designed to help professionals upskill, nurture leadership, and support economic growth across global markets.

The initiative is backed by Georgian College’s strong reputation for innovation, applied learning, and deep industry partnerships, alongside proven graduate and employer outcomes. Established in Canada in 1967, Georgian College ranks among Ontario’s top institutions for graduate employment and employer satisfaction.

As the UAE continues to invest in priority sectors such as healthcare and artificial intelligence, Georgian Global aims to strengthen regional partnerships with leaders including Dr Mariam Shaikh and MS Education. "Our goal is to co-create locally relevant, globally benchmarked solutions rather than simply export education," Weaver added.

Georgian Global is also set to introduce its flagship initiative, the Georgian Global Dealer Academy – Dubai, in 2026. Developed in collaboration with the Automotive Association of the Middle East and North Africa (AMENA), the academy will deliver internationally benchmarked, results-oriented training programmes aimed at developing future leaders in automotive dealerships.

Senior officials from Georgian Global and Georgian College will be in the region to support the launch, including Kevin Weaver, president and CEO; David Johnson, vice president, Finance and Corporate Services; Stephanie Barry, executive director, Georgian Global; Mustafa Aydin, senior manager, Global Business Development; and Jason Dale, executive director, Automotive Business School of Canada, Georgian.
