A brief idea about cooperative training

The cooperative training program within the CEAS emanates from the necessity of achieving plenty of benefits that may be equally profitable for the student and the local community. This is attained through the fruitful collaboration between the CEAS on the one hand, and the efficient labor sectors in the local community on the other hand.

The cooperative training is the accumulative outcome of the complementary cooperation between the university Colleges and the labor market in both the public and private sectors. It aims at helping the student acquire the scientific capacity combined with the skills so that the student can apply the academic knowledge acquired during the university years on the down-to-earth reality, which can only result in actual development of the student’s personality, acquired skills and self-confidence. It also provides the student with a real work environment that is committed to the work basics and regulations under mutual technical and administrational supervision. The cooperative training is a compulsory subject for students in all the College majors.
