TECHNICAL & SKILLS TRANSFER TRAINING
TECHNICAL & SKILLS TRANSFER TRAINING
Following a significant graduation rate in 2013 & early 2014, and in view of the large population of new 1st year postgraduates, several trainings have to be organized to ensure a strong technical/scientific background both institutionally & within the neighboring and partner HEIs. Likewise, such robust updated technical skills cement further the job absorption of the fellows in the market.
