U21Global, the online graduate school, has appointed Poonam Chhotelal as manager, corporate education programmes for the UAE and Gulf region. Poonam will be responsible for increasing U21Global’s share of the fast-growing corporate training and human resource development industry.

An education and knowledge-industry professional for more than seven years, with experience in India and the Middle East, Poonam brings a range of technical, interpersonal and analytical skills to her new role.
Vikram Tah.  U21Global’s director, recruitment, Middle East, Africa and Pakistan, said the Gulf region was making great strides in its effort to integrate into the global knowledge economy. “This means that many institutions in the region are looking for global partners in education and training, such as U21Global, to help them develop high-quality customised corporate programmes in business and information technology management areas such as leadership, project management, and entrepreneurship,” he said.  
“Poonam will work with companies, universities and in-house corporate learning centres to help them identify their human resource development needs and develop highly focused content tailored to meet the specific learning outcomes of the clients and their employees. With U21Global’s online and flexible programmes, our clients can build their company culture into the programmes, develop employee talents and at the same time allow for work-life balance.”
