Striving to improve the quality of tourism/hospitality and
pharmaceutical education as well as to bridge the gap between the
knowledge provided by higher education institutions and the needs
of employers, the USAID Competitive Armenian Private Sector (CAPS)
Project, in collaboration with the American University of Armenia
Extension Program, will conduct Summer Schools for Tourism and
Pharmaceutical students on July 12-30.
Over 40 second, third, and fourth-year students representing European
Regional Academy, Yerevan State College of Humanities, Yerevan
State Armenian-Greek College of Tourism, Service and Food Industry,
Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University, Yerevan State University
(YSU), State Linguistic University after V. Brusov, the Armenian
Tourism Institute, Yerevan State University will attend the Summer
School for Tourism Students. Likewise, 30 pharmaceutical students of
Yerevan State Medical University after M.Heratsi, YSU Department of
Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Mehrabyan Medical Institute will take
part at the First Summer School for Pharmaceutical Students.
The training participants will acquire knowledge and skills in
their disciplines, discuss the needs of relevant specialties, learn
best practices of setting up businesses in their fields, develop a
strategic plan and collaborate with foreign partners. The classes will
be conducted by CAPS specialists and managers of leading organizations
in the fields. Upon completion, the graduates of the Summer Schools
will receive certificates of participation.
"This initiative aims to develop students' knowledge,
contribute to heightened awareness of practical issues
of concerned fields of study, as well as promote greater
cooperation and understanding between academia and private sector of
employers. Additionally, this is an excellent networking opportunity
for students of different educational institutions majoring in the
same discipline," Anush Shahverdyan, CAPS Workforce Development
Specialist says.
All those interested are invited to the opening of the Summer Schools,
which will be held on Tuesday, July 13, at 3:00 pm at the American
University of Armenia P. Avedisean Bld. (40 Baghramyan Ave.) 4th floor.
