Each year, Abu Dhabi Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ACTVET) will organize and coordinate “Skill4life”, a program that is designed to focus on improving the performance of National students from grades 9 to 11 in the areas of English, technology and vocational education. The aim of the program is to provide a variety of positive learning experiences for students that ‘value-add’ to their knowledge, skills and attitudes. ACTVET wants to strengthen the focus of “Skills4life” on education through recreation and place a greater emphasis on identifying and achieving the key learning outcomes of each activity with focus on English, vocational and Technology based programs and field related projects.
