| Bridge to Work |
Bridge to Work is a twenty-week full time education Programme offered through a tripartite partnership between The National Institute for Vocational Education, the National Human Resources & Development Authority (Tanmia), and employers in the United Arab Emirates. The partnership aims to provide education and training that will enable young nationals of the United Arab Emirates to acquire fundamental workplace skills that are crucial to successful employment in the United Arab Emirates.
Bridge to Work is divided into three phases:

- Work Experience: On-the-job training
| Graduates of the Bridge to Work Programme are awarded two BTEC Diplomas accredited by Edexcel International. The first is a Diploma in Skills for the Workplace and the second is a Diploma in a specialisation such as Customer Services, Business Administration, or Retailing.
Graduates also receive the NIVE Diploma in Bridge to Work.
Admission
The Bridge to Work Programme is open to nationals of the United Arab Emirates. Admission to the Programme is based on performance on a diagnostic assessment test on basic skills in communication in English and on the use of numbers.
