Featured Engagement
Education & Training Investment Forum — Riyadh
Dr Tony Degazon participated in a fireside chat at the Education & Training Investment Forum (ETIF) in Riyadh, a national platform bringing together decision-makers, investors and education leaders to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s education and training sector.
The discussion explored preparing the next generation of Saudi talent for an increasingly technology-driven labour market, including the shrinking half-life of skills, employer-led apprenticeships, modular credentials and trusted outcomes.
“Trust is the currency of the future. When credentials are secure, pathways are modular and outcomes are measurable, we empower the workforce to become architects of the future — not operators of the past.”

- Occupational standards and the future of work-based learning
