The upcoming Gulf Education and Training Exhibition (Getex), a leading education, training and professional development show in Dubai, will feature more than 250 leading universities and training institutes from across the world.

The 30th edition of the three-day show will open tomorrow (April 12) at Dubai International Convention Centre will showcase undergraduate and postgraduate academic and occupational courses to guide over 35,000 students in exploring potential learning opportunities.

Getex provides an opportunity for regional and global education providers to highlight the unique features and advantages of their respective institutions, showcase their campus facilities and assess student trends and popular course choices that will help them plan their marketing initiatives post the event.

Meanwhile, learners benefit from face-to-face interactions, get to compare course offerings, campus facilities and engage in discussions that will assist them in making more informed decisions on their further study options. In a nutshell, Getex offers institutions an incomparable education marketing platform that allows them to achieve their admission targets while securing valuable student data.

The Spring edition of the exhibition will also host a series of back-to-back career-oriented seminars, a dedicated career counsellors forum, and brief occupational courses aimed at inspiring youth to develop their hobbies into successful careers.

Anselm Godinho, managing director, International Conferences &Exhibitions, organizers of Getex, said: “This year’s exhibition brings an even broader array of opportunities for international education and training providers to interact with regional students and update them about various study options. The UAE is fast evolving as a competitive education destination, attracting home-grown and international students from more than 40 countries. Reflecting this, Getex caters to different student groups based on the courses on offer at the event and successfully matches aspiring learners with premium educational service providers.”
