Gem & Jewelry Academy to Open in Dubai

An initiative by the UAE-based ARY Group, the ARY Academy of Gems & Jewellery, will be established in Dubai and will open its doors on January 5. The academy will provide extensive education and training in all aspects of the gold and precious metals trade.

It will also offer various certificates and diploma courses in the design, manufacture, assaying and management of gems and jewelry, geared to support the growth and transformation of the gold and jewelry trade in the area.

Programs offered at the institution will cover various aspects of Gemology, Jewelry Design, Gem & Jewelry Management and Business Administration.

The initiative is recognized by the Knowledge Village in Dubai, a learning community established as part of a long-term economic strategy to develop the region’s talent pool and accelerate its move into a knowledge-based economy.

“The region has been witnessing tremendous growth in per capita consumption of gold and jewelry, increase in the number jewelry retail outlets, and employment opportunities in this sector,” noted Academy CEO Sarwat Abdul Razzak. “It is imperative that such a growing industry gets the support of qualified and trained personnel in all aspects of the trade.” Source
