GEMS Education has launched its innovative GEMS Alumni programme to connect around 400,000 of its alumni from its schools within the UAE on one digital platform. The programme sets out to create an exclusive network of GEMS ‘geniuses’ from around the world to showcase, inspire and facilitate career successes across some of the most exciting, in-demand industries – including aviation, technology and, of course, education. 

The initial rollout of GEMS Alumni includes a dedicated website and app launched for past scholars to sign up and log on to. The programme offers a range of exclusive opportunities for its valued members – from reconnecting with old friends to professional networking and access to global alumni chapters.  

Another focus is career development, with alumni able to take advantage of career webinars, mentorship opportunities and industry panel discussions. As an added benefit, GEMS alumni will also have the opportunity to avail exclusive offers locally and internationally. 

The number of GEMS alumni – dating as far back as 1959 – currently stands at approximately 400,000 former students who have all graduated from or attended a GEMS school at some point in their school career - all of whom are now able to access the GEMS Alumni’s user-friendly app and website, opening the door to a host of professional, social, recreational and educational opportunities.

Dino Varkey, GEMS Education CEO and himself an alumnus from GEMS Modern Academy said: ‘After more than 60 years, you can meet a friendly GEMS face no matter where in the world you find yourself because our network of graduates and former students is truly global. I look forward to seeing the GEMS Alumni programme take off further, bringing together and opening even more doors for the many thousands of GEMS students we’ve had the privilege of teaching over the years.” 

Over the last 60 years, GEMS students have gone on to do great things all across the world with the alumni programme facilitating connections between like-minded former GEMS students working in a diverse range of sectors, industries and geographies. Each has a unique and inspiring story to tell. Below offers just a few of GEMS Education’s success stories across a range of industries.
