The UAE Academy is a vocational institute offering courses and training to UAE Nationals in preparation for joining the workforce. The motivation for setting up this institute was the Emiratisation policy of the UAE government.

Jobs at UAE Academy
If you're looking for employment at UAE Academy, their website asks you to send a covering letter and resume (CV) to excellence@uaeacademy.ae. No details of salary, packages and working conditions are obvious on their website, or indications of what qualifications and experience are desired by the UAE Academy. You can either view the rudimentary application process and lack of information about working conditions as an indication of how the rest of the institute operates, or see it as a low priority task that their human resources department hasn't got around to completing yet.
Comments seen and heard about teaching at the UAE Academy are not promising though - possible delays in salary payments, difficulties supplying or finding accommodation, management style may be seen as juvenile (staff have to sign in and out at the start and end of their working days). In short, sounds like many other ESL and tertiary institutes in the UAE.
If you have further information or comments, or disagree with anything written here, please contribute to the forum topic about the UAE Academy.
