Die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate wollen Ausbildungszentren in Indien aufbauen. So sollen der Zulauf von ungelernten Arbeitern in der Bauindustrie gesteuert und die privaten Arbeitsvermittler umgangen werden.
The United Arab Emirates intends to establish training centres in India in a bid to control the flow of unskilled workers into its construction industry and bypass private recruitment agencies. According to the Gulf News, foreign workers must shell out Dh 6,000 each to learn skills in their home countries before moving to the UAE. The prestigious UAE newspaper quoted a senior government official as saying: "The UAE will start by opening an office in India in early 2013 to train and rehabilitate workforce". According to Saeed Abdullah, the National Productivity Improvement Programme manager at UAE's Federal Demographic Council (FDC), the ratio of unskilled labour in the construction sector was as high as 85 percent. The Gulf News further quoted Abdullah as saying: "The workers will have to bear the cost of the training estimated to be up to Dh 6,000, but will no longer have to pay thousands of dirhams to recruitment agencies or private travel agents to get jobs. While India is the first country where centres will be established, both Pakistan and Bangladesh will also have these centres". Saeed Abdullah said the first batch of trained workers would be 5,000 in the first year, 20,000 in 2014 and 50,000 in 2015. He added: "The UAE government seeks to decrease the number of unskilled workers in the construction sector, considered a sector which employs the highest number of unskilled workers".UAE to train unskilled workers in India
