Hct and the uae are the best place to work and live

None

Relaxed and happy place
English Language Teacher (Former Employee) - Abu Dhabi - March 21, 2020
Higher colleges of Technology is a big establishment. That means it can be hectic at times and each process might take longer sometimes. However, life in Abu Dhabi is quite expensive.

Productive and Self Motivating
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Abu Dhabi - January 13, 2020
HCT is a good training institution where you can enhance your skills and potential. Develop yourself in the process and learn to communicate/coordinate and blend with the different level of people and working culture.

High workload - too many deadlines, too many types of work to be done. Good work environment - good salary, great colleagues and easy going students. Frequent changes.

Jobs at Higher Colleges of Technology
An institution in transition
Lecturer of ESL, Academic English, & Creative Writing (Former Employee) - UAE - December 9, 2019
I had the opportunity to work with the HCT for three years and generally enjoyed my time there. Students were very hardworking and respectful, and the colleagues were excellent and very supportive. Admin was pressed to implement many structural changes and there were a lot of top-down decisions
made for the 17 campuses with little to no consultation with faculty or students.

Productive and fun
Program Manager (Current Employee) - Dubai - October 19, 2019
Overall, it has been a very positive learning and productive experience. The workplace culture is always changing. Sometimes, this is positive and other times it can be negative. Your immediate boss makes a huge difference. The part I enjoy the most about the job is the students.

Disconnected management
Assistant Professor (Former Employee) - Abu Dhabi - August 5, 2019
Management have little awareness of the reality of day to day experiences for teaching faculty. The Organization is run “top down” and educational changes are imposed without explanation and more critically, without consultation and open discussion. This results in a generally alienated teaching faculty who just go with the flow.
A large majority of the student body have misguided expectations of the effort required to achieve good academic grades.

If u live in a western country avoid this college
I almost believe that any one gives this college more than 2 is pushed to do this by the college. If you live in a western country you should not even think of going to this college or kindergartin. If you live in a developing country then it is ok to go to make some money, but be careful u dont want to impact your health negatively. There is nothing good about this place. Management is zero, students are spoiled and knows very little. teaching is tough. they way u will be treated by management and students is horrible. If you dont believe it , just apply and they will take you because they need some people. No one stays there unless he has no place to go. when u go there and spend one month read my reveiw again.
they want you to teach minimum of 20 hrs/week. are we in elementary school. finger prints when u come in and when u leave. Vice chancellor and deans are much below the average in performance with the vice chancellor considering professors as his worst enemies.
Those who gave high rating for this school are paid to do this. No human will give a rating of more than one or two.

Best place to gain diverse experience and meet challenges
Office Manager / Specialist Administration (Former Employee) - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. - July 6, 2019
Given the dynamic, multi-campus, multicultural, I was able to gain vast experience working with this institution. We could interact system-wide with people from different countries and all walks of life. The institution has campuses across the whole of the UAE giving the staff the opportunity to travel to the various campuses all over the country. Given the dynamic nature of the institution, I could gain experience in facing challenges and adapting to changes. I enjoyed my tenure at this institution. I can say it is one of the best places to work in the U.A.E.
Pros
Multicultural and dynamic
Cons
Not many
