Relativ, a leading conversational analytics company that utilizes artificial intelligence to revolutionize the transition from education to the workplace, has announced a new partnership with Tektronix Technologies, a prominent leader in advanced technology solutions in the UAE.

The partnership aims to deliver Relativ's proprietary AI-driven platform to educational institutions across the UAE, empowering students with the real-world, soft skills that employers increasingly demand. With an ever-changing job market, graduates often struggle to meet the expectations of their employers, not due to a lack of academic knowledge, but because of insufficient workplace readiness. This problem not only affects students but also challenges employers who are seeking talent equipped with practical skills like communication, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving.

Tektronix Technologies will play a pivotal role in expanding Relativ's reach across the UAE, providing educational institutions with the tools to enhance their students' career readiness through personalized, real-world simulations and AI-guided Interview / Resume Preparation powered by AI. The goal is to create a generation of graduates who are not only academically proficient but also professionally prepared, ensuring that they are ready to excel from day one in the workplace.

"At Relativ, we believe in shaping not just the minds of students, but their futures, regardless of their backgrounds or where they come from." said Arjun Nagendran, Co-Founder & CEO of Relativ. "By partnering with Tektronix Technologies, we're equipping the next generation in UAE with career readiness and interpersonal skills, confidence, and real-world experience they need to thrive in their careers. Together, we're not just preparing students for the job market - we're preparing them for the future of work."

The collaboration comes at a crucial time when the UAE is doubling down on efforts to improve its workforce and align educational outcomes with market needs using AI. With an increasing demand for a workforce that is both academically and professionally capable, the partnership will ensure that UAE graduates are more prepared for the evolving challenges of the modern workplace.

Relativ's cutting-edge conversational analytics platform leverages customized AI models to simulate real-world workplace scenarios, enabling students to practice and refine their soft skills in a safe, virtual environment. By combining data and insights from schools, universities, subject matter experts, and key personnel at Tektronix Technologies, the companies aim to create AI-guided, personalized learning that addresses the unique requirements of the region. The result is a student who is not only prepared for interviews but also equipped to navigate the complexities of the workplace with confidence and professionalism. By addressing the gap between academic learning and workplace readiness, Relativ and Tektronix Technologies are working together to build a more competitive and future-ready workforce in the UAE. This partnership underscores the shared vision of both companies to make meaningful, long-lasting improvements to how students transition from education to employment.

Relativ's success in bringing this partnership to fruition is largely attributed to the dedication and vision of Majid Mukarram, who played a pivotal role in driving the collaboration between Relativ and Tektronix Technologies.
