OFWs in UAE upgrade themselves through Filipino-run technical schools

▤ Summary

OFWs in the UAE are enrolling in Filipino-run technical schools to gain new skills and move into better jobs. The story follows workers who left low-paying domestic work and are now training for roles such as nursing assistants, healthcare assistants, pastry chefs, and accounting staff. Some employers are even funding education for their Filipino staff because they see training as a way to build stronger teams and improve retention. The schools offer UAE certification and study-now, pay-later options, making upskilling more accessible for working adults.
