New Center Adds To AGBU-Supported Educational Initiative in
Nagorno-Karabakh
Plans are moving forward for this fall's opening of the brand new
Tumo-AGBU Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Program for Creative
Technologies. The program is the latest addition to the ambitious
public education initiative spearheaded, fully funded, and developed
by AGBU across NKR in partnership with the NKR government, the American
University of Armenia (AUA), and Tumo.
The Tumo-AGBU NKR Program for Creative Technologies will build on
the success of the AUA-AGBU Extension Program, which has expanded by
popular demand with AGBU's financial underwriting. This Continuing
Education Program offers certificate courses in Public Policy and
Administration, Strategic Management, Tourism and Hospitality
Management, as well as English language and standardized test
preparation. With additional seminars in career development, resume
writing and interviewing, it is helping to strengthen the NKR
workforce, one of AGBU's key goals for the project.
Details for the new Tumo-AGBU NKR Program were discussed at a recent
Stepanakert meeting attended by representatives of the NKR government,
AGBU and Tumo. AGBU Central Board member Vasken Yacoubian, who
was present, remarked on the progress of their collaboration. "The
curricula we've developed with NKR officials and AUA administrators
are preparing students to pursue higher education and exciting careers
in public service," he stated. "With the forthcoming Tumo-AGBU NKR
Program for Creative Technologies, we look forward to helping even
more young leaders advance in the fields of IT, communication and
the arts, as we continue to encourage local development."
Like the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies in Yerevan, the
Tumo-AGBU NKR Program will offer state-of-the-art computers, design
labs, courses with industry leaders and, above all, an environment
where young Armenians can reach their full potential. A direct fiber
optic connection will link to Tumo's central servers, allowing staff
in both cities to share information, while interactive workshops will
draw from Tumo's satellite program in Dilijan.
Tumo Managing Director Marie Lou Papazian welcomed AGBU's plans,
stating, "From day one, Tumo was designed to be replicable, with the
goal of making its educational programs available to youth everywhere.
Young people in NKR are eager to connect with global networks without
having to emigrate. That need, combined with the NKR government's
active support, makes Stepanakert a natural choice for the next
Tumo location."
During the Stepanakert meeting, NKR Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan
reaffirmed the government's commitment to the project and expressed
gratitude for AGBU's financial backing. Prime Minister Harutyunyan,
Yacoubian and Papazian were joined in Stepanakert by Chief of Staff
of the NKR Government Levon Grigoryan, AGBU NKR Representative Sassoun
Baghdasaryan and Tumo Board member Pegor Papazian.
The Tumo-AGBU NKR Program for Creative Technologies expects to enroll
240 students ages 12-18 in its first year, with a goal of serving
over 1,000 students by 2020.

Established in 1906, AGBU is the world's largest non-profit Armenian
organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU preserves and
promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through educational,
cultural, and humanitarian programs, annually touching the lives of
some 400,000 Armenians around the world.
